Pin lock VS Ball Lock

[jrdunne (Joe Sr.)]

That’s a very good price.  Be aware, kegs seem to reproduce.  More is never enough.

yeah and unfortunately thats very true for my personality, but right now im looking at purchasing an electric brewery style setup, so 8 is what ive got for now:)

Thats very strange.  all the literature ive read suggests that ball lock kegs where created in a far higher quantity then pin lock.  While the soda industry doesnt use them any more i guess we can assume that homebrewers have eaten up all the ball locks.

The small Pepsi distributor in my town still uses ball lock kegs, but will be starting the switch in a couple months.  As I already own about 50 ball locks, I’m hoping to get their industrial keg washer.  That thing cleans 5 at a time.  (Woo Hoo)

Either is fine. I have all ball locks because that’s what i started with but they’re getting harder to come by these days.

Personally I wouldn’t bother with 2.5 or 3 gallon kegs unless space requirements absolutely require it. you can put 2.5 or 3 gallons of beer in a 5 gallon keg but not vice versa.
