Homebrew Keg Deals Roundup!

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…
Quick Picks…
- SCRATCH & DENT PEPSI STYLE BALL LOCK KEG – on sale for $42.95, depending on shipping this could be an amazing deal
- Premium Refurbished AEB 5 Gallon Ball Lock Keg, Rubber Handle – Hands on Review
- *Premium Cornelius Keg – or Firestone, 5 Gallon, Ball Lock “PREMIUM GRADE”
- New Pin Lock – Pin Lock Kegs
- Used Pin Locks – This one is really tough right now. Prices are high when they’re available
- Refurbished Pin Locks < depending on shipping, probably the best deal going on right now
- Pin Lock Cornelius Keg – Without Gaskets Replaced (Pin Lock) KEG433
- Pin Lock Keg (Used) – 5 gallon < shipping sweet spot (for me, will vary based on location) is 3 of these kegs. This beats the delivered cost per keg of 1,2 and 4 kegs.
- Set of Four 5 Gallon Kegs, Pin Lock (Used)
Cornykeg .com
- NEW 3 GALLON AEB KEG – on sale for $114.95 – Hands on Review of the 5 gallon double handle version
- Announcing: CORNY KEG 12 GALLON BALL LOCK KEG – SS
- Announcing: NEW Pin Lock Kegs!
- Refurbished Pin Locks
- SCRATCH & DENT PEPSI STYLE BALL LOCK KEG – on sale for $42.95
- PEPSI STYLE BALL LOCK KEG KIT… $61.95 – You’ll need a CO2 tank and regulator. A CO2 tank is great to purchase locally anyway. You’ll save shipping charges and odds are good you’ll need to swap it out immediately anyway. 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.
