9l Kegs?

[MastersBrewery]

After the german guy ran out there was another ebay seller from france but shipping was a bitch but still around $85 each (once again for an order of four) don't have his name off the top of my head, might check through email see if I can find him.

Some time ago I got 3 nine litre kegs from the USA.

If I recall they cost me about $50.00 each and I got some other bits sent inside them as well.

I can't remember exactly the supplier but I think it was the Chico Company guy that used to trade under another name.
I think Batz may have got some also at the same time as did a lot of other guys that used to frequent this forum, so if any of them are reading this they may help with more accurate details.

Cheers

9L kegs are great. I got 4 from the german guy for about $75 each delivered.

They're the perfect size for parties, camping and to take to work h34r:

Yes I bought 4 at a time from the US, back when they still had surface mail. I bought 12 in total and still have 5 left.
I love them and use them for my mongrel and party kegs. I can't remember what I paid for them now but I sold the extras and ended up with mine for almost nix.

Only if you're not sensitive to being constantly sent NSFW material, having Friday morning tea then afternoon beers/scotch.

It's a tough gig.

I have 3 of the 9L kegs from the german ebay seller.

Lager brewing is time consuming (in my brewery 3-4 months not to mention an extended brew day with decoctions standard, YMMV) and given the small height of krausen i can fit 29L in a '30L' fermenter. After lagering i have enough to fill a 19L and a 9L keg.

I also use them for parties.

More recently i bought 2 x 11.5L kegs which enables me to split a single 20L batch between a 11.5 and 9L keg. I like sharing but I am currently finding it hard to find the time to brew so it's a bit annoying when mates drain a keg in a sitting. So i only tap 1 small keg and leave the other for me B)

There is an ebay seller who sells new 9L kegs for $125 - Link

I have heard that those 11.5L keys (i believe they come in 23L as well) are a PITA to clean? Something to do with the welds?

I may be wrong, just going on what i was told a while back... IIRC

There was a thread on them a while back, they said they were not food grade welds and some had rust in them.

edit: Add this link to topic Keg King New Kegs?, are they any good?

double edit: just re-reading that thread, the ones DrSmurto linked too have different handles, so may be different kegs
