I am looking for half barrel beer kegs. I would like to use one as a boil pot. Does anyone know where I could find one or maybe more?
If anyone has a spare wort chiller for sale, let me know.
Thanks!!!

Ask the folks at Westside Liquors. Tell him you are in the beer club. He made me a pretty attractive offer for some last year.

Westside Liquors was able to sell me some kegs. They are $30. The price went up at the beginning of the year.
Thanks Jim!

I'm glad you got them. I can't remember how much they were last year. Maybe 20$. I know people are taking them for scrap which is causing the increase in deposit prices.

Know if they had any more? I might have to get one for that price.

FYI - A liquor store or distributor does not own kegs so they can't legally sell kegs.

I got the last ones. I would check with them on Monday. I am sure that someone at USI will have a kegger.

After agonizing over the legality of the issue, my fiance bought me two legal kegs for my birthday this month from

Cheapest place I found legal kegs. I ended up getting the barrel sided ones since they were out of the standard. $62.10 each, and they will pull the valves for you if you want, either discarding them, or sending them to you.
