I could just put 2.5 gallons in my existing 5 gallon kegs. But for some reason, it just irks me to not have a full keg.

I hear you. I feel the same way when I make a smaller batch !

The 3 gallon pin-locks are sweet.  I'm quite happy with them.

I also like my 2.5 gallon ball locks, but those are pretty costly these days.

Moving into kegging....thank goodness.  I just can't handle bottling any longer.  Seems like ball locks are the pricy ones as my LHBS has a deal on pin locks 1st one for $45 and 2nd $35.  Not a steal but better than $80 for a used ball lock.  Even if I convert to ball lock they are still under the used ball lock price. 

But the new ones sure are nice.

Cheers!

Got an e-mail from AIH this morning.  Kegs are on sale again.  $75 for new 5 gallon ball locks.

I have too many empties right now to buy more.

With prices like that, they are getting closer and closer to the price of refurbished ball locks.  Thankfully I have 10 kegs and it seems like enough...for now :0

Thinking about jumping on that sale from AiH but the lack of the NSF stamp makes me a little nervous.  Would it make you nervous?

If it bugs you, the kegs from beverage elements have the NSF stamp and are only $7 more expensive.

True true.  I don't know why it worries me but it did for some reason.  I guess that is like not buying things that don't have a USDA stamp....as we all know that stamp does a lot of good.  ha.

Thanks fellas.

AiH has said (Facebook?) that the next shipment will have NSF stamps, supplied passed ISO certification too.

Damn, I felt ripped paying $60 for used kegs. Hell I have a metal scrapper near me than can get used ones for $20. Even by rebuilding all the parts I'm still better off.

I just got my new AIH kegs. They are very nice, clean and good looking welds.
