Good used pin locks have been hard to find…  When I started brewing pin locks were cheaper than ball locks, but that has changed. There’s been a real reversal in used keg pricing. Used pin locks have been tough to find in stock, especially at anything close to what I would call a good price. For example, see MoreBeer’s Pin Lock Offering. This is supply related. New pin lock kegs are not coming into the homebrewing market and we’ve finally hit an availability wall.

cornykeg.com has sourced hard to find refurbished pin lock kegs. Prices for these refurbishe kegs start at $42.74 each when you buy a four pack. Get them while you can!

• REFURBISHED PIN LOCK 5 GALLON CORNELIUS STYLE KEG – cornykeg.com
• REFURBISHED PIN LOCK 5 GALLON CORNELIUS STYLE KEG – 2 PACK – corneykeg.com
• REFURBISHED PIN LOCK CORNELIUS STYLE KEG – 4 PACK – cornykeg.com
• All Pin Locks

For some pricing clarity, MoreBeer’s $84.99 offering just completely sold out. MoreBeer’s included free shipping, but that’s still MUCH more expensive than cornkeg’s current deal

Used 5 Gal. Pin Lock Kegs KEG432

Also Consider:

Scratch and Dent Ball Locks from cornykeg.com

These kegs hold pressure and work fine, but have some more significant dents. They may have a broken handle or loose rubber top or bottom or an excessive amount of labels. These are refurbished ball lock Pepsi Style kegs with all new orings and a manual pull-ring relief valve. Photo shows example kegs, but are priced each.

As of this posting these are on sale for $42.95. Check site for current price & availability.

Pin Lock Keg Pricing Commentary…

There’s been a real reversal in used keg pricing. For example, see MoreBeer’s Pin Lock Offering.  I’m guessing this is related to availability. New pin lock kegs are not coming into the homebrewing market and we’ve finally hit an availability wall. Along those lines, this is the best deal I’m aware of for a pin lock keg. If you’re a devoted pin lock user, now is the time to pick some up.

Recommendation: Now is the time to buy kegs, especially pin locks

Considering the current climate, if you’re a pin lock user. I think now is the time to stock up. Things have been getting consistently worse and worse on the pin lock front. The same has been generally true for ball lock kegs, but the process has been slower than pin locks.
