2 1/2 gal Ball Lock

Post by Don » Sat Nov 10, 2012 11:40 am

I been splitting several of my 10 & 5 gal batches into several 2.5 gal batches (trying different yeast, hops, temperatures and additives, It would be nice to have some 2.5 kegs.
So I'm in the hunt for some 2 1/2 gal ball lock kegs if anyone runs across some in good shape.

No hurry I'm just at this point with 16, 5 gals cornies I need to start getting a few 2 1/5 gal cornies.
Someday I will get rid (trade / sell) some of my 5 gals.

I heard Williams Brewing had some deals in their ding and dents, but was unable to find anything but 5 gal. Let me know if/when you decide to sell/trade a 5 gal. corny. I'm trying to get into kegging soon. I just need to stay as frugal as possible.

Thanks,
Adam

Do you have a picture of what a 2.5 ball lock looks like? I've got two small ss ball locks that have the ball lock only on the output side. They have 1/16" threaded fittings, two, one on the lid and one on the tank that are CO2. The ball lock goes to the bottom with a dip tube. These were Dairy Queen syrup containers. If you could come up with a quick connect for the CO2, I think they would work nicely. These are mint condition.

I'll take a look at it, I'm always willing to adapt.
