Keggles

Post by yl_ryan »

Can somebody recommend a source of used kegs for converting into keggles? I am debating whether to invest in a SS brewpot as my first equipment purchase of my own home brew setup, or to use a keggle. Keggles seem like a popular option among many home brewers, and I like the idea of recycling an old keg. Thanks!

I found mine on Craigslist. I paid on average about $40 for each. I could have probably paid less, but I'm not a great haggler and wanted to get started on converting them.

Ryan,
I saw your post looking for a keg.
Maltbarley is correct, I do convert kegs. I don't have any converted right now but I do have 3 stainless steel barrel kegs like this one without the tops cut out or the holes drilled $40ea.
