Cheap Legal 50 Litre Kegs

[Darren]

Howdy,

I have sourced some LEGAL 50 litre kegs. They are the "CUB style" but are not CUB kegs. They are second hand but can be used to keg and dispense beer from. They have rubber on the top and bottom so I am unsure of their usability for a bottom fired boiler. I suspect the rubber will will come off with a bit of help though.

These kegs are $150 each and there are only 20 of them. Buyer to pay freight from Melbourne.

If there is any interest I will post some pics next week.

cheers

Darren

I should have added $135 each for all 20

Just testing the water here Darren, but how much do you think freight to Canberra might be?

To tell the truth, your guess would be as good as mine. Around $100 for all 20 of them.

Are you sure these are "legal kegs" Darren? They are marked with the NZ Breweries crest and probably were used to ship beer into Australia. Probably worth double checking............

[Darren]

Yep,

Have documentation for sale confiming legality.

Good one thanks Darren. Always like to be on the lookout for second hand kegs that may belong to some of our microbrewers who buy these in fairly significant quantities to move their beers around the country.

On the price though, we would normally see these sorts of kegs at $80 to $100 plus something for your trouble. New price would be around $180.

[Darren]

How many do you have at that price Wes?

cheers

[wessmith]

Wes

 

[Darren]

cheers

Darren

 

[wessmith]

Darren, I would go and have a chat to your local HBS.

I think the point was that while 20 might be a lot for a home brewer it isnt a commercial quantity. Wes said container, if you want a few like Darren was talking about you are shopping retail not wholesale.

NO worries MHB,
I am not a retailer just a homebrewer trying to help out homebrewers with an alternative.

Hi All,

I must admit I'm a bit confused by some of the exchanges here, nonetheless ... Darren can you give some idea what the freight codt might be, I'm in Perth but I'm sure others would be interested in freight to other capitals.

Seems this thread is going in circles...?!

I was at Grain & Grape in Melbourne on the weekend and they have a pallet of what looked like 50ltr kegs (SS with blue stripe around the middle). Not sure if they were for sale, but I'm sure legit 50ltr kegs aren't as hard to get hold of as some people are suggesting...

$0.02's worth
