Mildly neat idea, insane price point.
Yeah, thats for sure. Nice in some respects but definitely on the high end of the price spectrum!
With new cornies going for $100+, it doesn’t seem that far out of line. Definitely a niche product though - how many people brew both 1 gal and 5 gal batches? An extension kit to make it a 2.5 gal seems more logical to me.
You’re better off waiting for someone like AiH to run a sale on new kegs and buy multiple kegs in the $80 or less price range.
Yeah ,my thoughts, too. A couple brand new kegs would be cheaper. And playing devil’s advocate, I wonder how well the seals hold up over time with the extender in. Sort of cool, but I’ll pass.
Like they have going on right now. I just picked up four 2.5 gallon ones.
I don’t have trouble cleaning my current kegs with Marks Keg and Carboy Washer. So the dishwasher feature seems over kill.
My kegs have a pretty big mouth already.
The modular feature solves a problem I don’t have. Far better to buy one small and one large keg.
The coolest feature on the NB keg is the hook welded inside to hold a sack of fruit or hops.
maybe that is geared toward the new countertop brewsystems? seems like a lot of money, but I do like the new look.
Must… not… buy… more… kegs…
+1
I’m about to head over there to check it out now…
But, most of my small kegs are empty so I don’t need any. Right?
Wait until the after Xmas clearance sale; I don’t see a lot of them selling at that price.
I guess we’re all alike. I always have to stop myself when I see brand new kegs going for $75. I think, that’s such a good price, and it’ll never be that cheap ever again. But, I have to talk myself out of it. I have 11 kegs; where would I put any more–modular or whatever.
Now these are sweet. Doesn’t list the dimensions. Shooting them an email now.

Ok, I hadn’t seen these. Damn, I like these and I really like the price for that design. I want to buy 2 or 3, but I have 17-ish 5 gallon kegs - can’t justify. But I don’t have any 2.5s, which I would like. Hmmmmmm…
I’d be willing to sell my current kegs if the width is 8.5" or less. For sure a no deal if I can’t fit the same amount in my keezer.
I use kegerators, so stacking 5 gallon kegs isn’t an option. But stacking 2.5s would be, dimensions permitting. These are nice !
Yeah, stacking a couple of 2.5s while both are pouring would be sweet.
Man, I’m picturing even more beers on tap. I can add a couple more faucets, but I can use cobras where tap space is tight. Stackable with the QDs on is a really great idea.
