are plastic beer kegs any good

[Bottla]

Have seen black plastic 40 l kegs. They were used for Canadian Club so i have been told as a one off keg. Does anyone have any info or feedback on them. 1 is set up as a fermenter and second one is stock and the price was $60. Did not look like it had a CUB type ball lock on it. Maybe someone out there has come across them and knows what fitting they have. Seller said they were good for wine storage in stock form, as it can be dismantled for cleaning and are very good as fermenters. Has anybody ever used them for beer storage or fermenting. Cheers Bottla

never used one, but I believe they've got a plastic bladder inside of them - I wouldn't be certain they'd last more than half a dozen uses - they're only designed to be used once...

60 bucks sounds exxy too

Thanks for the link. So it has a coopers fitting. Didn't know they had a bladder. Might make a good mouse proof malt store or pot for hops ( to grow in ) at the price in the link but will give the others i was talking about a miss. Thanks for the help. Bottla
