Homebrew Keg Deals Roundup!
A curated list of the best keg deals around. Got a tip? Connect with HBF!
What’s Going On With Keg Prices and Availability?
I have an article on this that explains this in detail and details our situation as it has unfolded. The short answer is… bulk availability of used kegs has become a thing of the past. I could provided you with a lot of reasoning behind that, but one illustration I can give you is that AIH has COMPLETELY REMOVED pages for their used ball lock offerings both singles and four packs. Over the years, these offerings had been some of the most reliable and have often been the best deal around.
$30 kegs are gone. Even if a large cache of used kegs are found in I don’t think we’re going to even come close to the prices we saw 10 years ago. Why would someone sell kegs for $30 or $40 when $80 or $90 is the going rate?
Our roundup has been and will continue to be the spot to find the best deals available…
Black Friday Savings on Kegs!
Kegland Keg Deal via William’s Brewing Sale:
5 Gallon NSF KegLand Keg from William’s Brewing
More InfoFrom the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:
Our new NSF certified stainless steel five gallon kegs from Keg Land have two ball-lock male quick disconnect fittings that hold pressure even when not connected, allowing you to have several kegs aging while one is tapped. Also referred to as Corny Kegs or Soda Kegs. Precisely made with smooth robotically welded interior welds for ease of cleaning to stringent NSF standards. Made in China.
Features a 3 by 3.5″ oval lid for easy cleaning, and a pressure relief lid mounted valve for safety. An exclusive stainless hang tap is welded onto the inside of the lid to make it easier for you to suspend dry hopping bags and hop infusers. 25″ tall, and 8½” wide. These require 26″ of headspace once you connect ball lock fittings and hoses. Rubber bumpers on top and bottom protect this keg from damage.
- William’s has these for $104.99 (compare at MoreBeer) as part of their Black Friday Sale
- Shipping is free or reasonably priced flat rate to addresses in the contiguous US depending on your order size for most items.

These premium, remanufactured ball lock kegs are constructed from stainless steel. Given the rising cost of stainless steel and the dwindling supply of high-caliber used kegs, you won’t want to miss out on this deal.
Each keg in our assortment is meticulously renovated. We carry out an exhaustive cleaning, precision polishing, and swap out various o-rings, including those on the lid, PRV, liquid and gas dip tubes, and two additional o-rings for each post. We source our kegs exclusively from top-notch brands such as AEB, SAFER, and CORNELIUS.
For a short time these are on sale for $69.95 as part of a Black Friday Sale. Considering the current climate for keg prices, this is a great deal.

Highly Rated Premium Refurbished Kegs
The fact is… the era of cheap and readily available used homebrew kegs is… done. I could give you a bunch of reasoning behind that opinion including one of the best sources for used kegs… de-listing used kegs, but I’ve got a regularly updated article on the topic you can check out.
Keg Connection Says…
“People have been receiving these new PREMIUM REMANUFACTURED KEGS and already love them! That’s because there hasn’t been a used keg on the market in this good of condition, EVER. They’re ‘used’ in a literal sense but each of these kegs has undergone an extensive refurbishing process. They have been meticulously cleaned, machine-polished, and fitted with new o-rings including the lid, pressure relief valve, and both liquid and gas dip tubes. Plus, we’ve added two new o-rings on each post.”

It doesn’t make any sense (at least to me) to buy a shiny new CO2 tank, pay to have it shipped, only to swap it out for a used one anyway.

Shipping Sweet Spot Estimations…
For these kegs, shipping is calculated based on where you live. Here’s what I’m seeing…
- 1 keg – $14.58, $14.58 per keg shipping – $65.56 per keg shipped
- 2 kegs – $18.27, $9.14 per keg shipping – $64.12 per keg shipped
- 3 kegs, $20.32, $6.77 per keg shipping – $61.75 per keg shipped
- 4 kegs (4 x singles) – $22.29, $5.57 per keg shipping – $60.55 per keg shipped
- 4 kegs (4 pack) – $40.20, $10.05 per keg shipping – $59.80 per keg shipped
- 5 kegs – $40.20…. $8.04 per keg (per keg shipping costs go up!) – $63.20 per keg shipped
These costs are for me for ball lock offerings. Costs should be similar for all other offerings as well. This will vary based on location.

Keg Pricing Commentary:
It’s a fact… keg prices have been going up. Sometimes way up. For example, this AEB keg spiked up to $179.99. New 5 Gallon Kegs at AIH have gone up drastically in the past year. Pin lock prices have skyrocketed. This Pin Lock offering had been selling for $45 before it nearly doubled to $85.
If you’re in need of kegs or will be in the near future, I think now is the time to buy.
Pin Lock Keg Pricing Commentary:
There’s been a real reversal in used keg pricing. For example, see MoreBeer’s Pin Lock Offering. I’m guessing this is related to availability. New pin lock kegs are not coming into the homebrewing market and we’ve finally hit an availability wall. Along those lines, this is the best deal I’m aware of for a pin lock keg. If you’re a devoted pin lock user, now is the time to pick some up.
