More about food safe materials:

For whatever reason, it’s difficult to find food safe keg o-rings.  Maybe some of the o-rings that are available are food safe, but very few are actually labeled as such.

The fact is we’re putting beer (food) in our kegs and we should be using food safe materials whenever we can.  More Info: Food Safe Replacement Keg O-Rings

Reconditioned Ball Lock Kegs for… $42.95 Black Friday Sale! BEATS 2017 Pricing

Reconditioned 5 Gallon Ball Lock Keg with Dual Handles

5 Gallon Reconditioned Ball Lock Keg – Dual Handle

Our 5 gallon reconditioned ball lock keg, both new and fully reconditioned, are far and away our most popular kegs — and for good reason. Reconditioned kegs are a great way to get the capacity and quality of a true brewer’s keg when you’re just getting started with in-home brewing: you can craft your very own beer, soda, Kombucha tea, cold brew coffee, nitro coffee and more, all at a great, affordable price.

But used kegs are leaky, sticky, and completely beat, right? Not at Beverage Elements. All our used kegs have been reconditioned right here, in house: we clean, sanitize, de-label, and pressure-check each and every one. Even though your reconditioned keg might not be brand new, you’ll never know it. Check out a few of the features and benefits you’ll be getting with this reconditioned ball lock keg.

(Class 1) Keg Features

  • Cleaned, sanitized, de-labeled and pressure-checked
  • Manual pressure relief built into the lid for easy depressurization
  • Durable stainless steel body and dual rubber handles
  • O-rings replaced during pressure check if necessary. Pro Tip: keep a spare set on hand at all times, since O-rings sometimes crack in transit and during keg cleaning
  • True ball lock keg — not converted pin lock
  • Great for homebrew beer, soda, Kombucha tea, nitro coffee, and cold brew coffee

Keg Specifications

  • Keg body of 304 stainless steel
  • Approved by the NSF
  • 8.5″ diameter x 25″ height — dimensions may vary slightly from wear

This is a Class 1 reconditioned ball lock keg. That’s the best condition of our reconditioned kegs — however, it is still used. It may have some scratches, dents, and other signs of use

 

As of this posting Beverage Elements has these for just $42.95. That’s an outstanding deal! For some pricing clarity, we featured these kegs back in March of 2017. At that time they were MORE. $49.90 each and you had to buy a two pack to get that price.

VEVOR CO2 Regulator Gauge with 0-60PSI, Heavy Duty CO2 Gauge Gas System, Draft Beer Regulator with Check Valve, Adjustable Pressure Regulator for Draft Beer Homebrew (5 LBS CO2 Tank)

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • Adjustable Range: The pressure range of the gas meter is adjustable from 0 to 60 PSI, allowing you to freely adjust the intake pressure of carbon dioxide gas, thus controlling the foaming texture of beer and ensuring that the beer-making process and results meet your needs and expectations. (Friendly Reminder: This CO2 tank is empty, not be filled with gas!)
  • Pressure Stability: The pressure relief valve autonomously adjusts the pressure to release at 65 PSI, preventing pressure relief under low pressure. This detail design ensures the quality and quantity of the brewed beer, without being affected by pressure issues.
  • Leak-proof: The gas meter comes with gaskets and clamps, both of which help you secure the gas meter to the beer keg and prevent gas leakage. This design guarantees the stability and reliability of the gas meter.
  • Backflow Prevention: The gas meter is equipped with a check valve to prevent beer from flowing back due to pressure issues. This design ensures a smoother and more stable beer-making process while also maintaining the cleanliness of the beer keg.
  • Versatile Compatibility: The carbon dioxide gas meter interface standard is CGA320, compatible with hose calibers of 8mm, making it compatible with various beer kegs. The installation is simple and quick, making your beer-making process more convenient.
  • Please Note: Currently, our gas tanks are shipped randomly in two models, one model has been stamped with a tare weight, while the other model has not been stamped with a tare weight.

This is similar in function to the Eva Dry E-500 – Hands on Review.  It contains desiccant beads that absorb moisture (in places like your kegerator).  The desiccant beads change colors as this takes place to let you know when the unit needs to be recharged.  Plugging in the unit activates the built in heater and drives off accumulated moisture. Unlike one time use solutions this is re-chargeable and re-usable.

The LED light function could also prove handy in kegerators and fermentation chambers.

This controller can control both a heating and cooling device.  Alternatively, it can control a heating or a cooling device.

In my opinion the original ITC-308 was and is a game changer as far as homebrew temp controllers.  In comparison to available controllers available at the time the ITC-308 was released, it offered loads more features, including dual stage control, for a fraction of the price.  Game changer!  The addition of Wi-Fi control and monitoring to this great controller has made a great temp controller even better.  Check out our Hands on Review of the ITC-308.  That includes a section on the WiFi version.

As of this posting this great controller is on sale for $35 as part of Amazon’s Cyber Monday Sale! Prices, promotions and availability can change quickly.  Check product page for current info – More About Prices

I use a similar pump (different manufacturer, features and specifications) for a recirculating draft line cleaning setup.  Note that fittings sizes are different on this pump vs the one I use in that build.  Adjust accordingly  Another possible homebrewing application would be to set this up for use a part of a recirculating wort chiller setup.

Updated: November 27, 2024

Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing.  They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility.  They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced.  DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps.

DuoTights are… awesome.  Check out my extensive Hands on Review

I’ve done several pressure tests with DuoTight Fittings and EVABarrier Tubing. Each test has proven the tested components were leak free. Having said that, it’s entirely possible that you’ll have a leak. This happens with any tubing system, that’s why we… check for leaks.

I have a write up for addressing DuoTight Leaks that will walk you through some things to check.

2 x Limited Time DEALS

One of the things that I do that really helps is use Valuebrew’s DuoTight Compatible Locking Clips. These snap into the collar of DuoTight Fittings and lock connections in place. This makes the connection more secure and reduces the chances of leakage.

Black Friday Deal on Italian Made AEB Kegs!

aeb keg deal

AEB has been manufacturing stainless steel drums, tanks and… kegs in their facility in Andalo Valtellino, Italy for over 30 years.

AEB leans hard into their Italian roots… “THE MADE IN ITALY IS OUR IDENTITY” can be seen plastered on their website in all caps. If I were to take a read on homebrewing, my read is that the general sentiment is that AEB kegs are among the highest quality kegs available to homebrewers. Just a guess and certainly a generalization.

In my opinion AEB makes the highest quality ball lock kegs currently available. See my in depth hands on review for lots more info.

Black Friday DEAL!

Hands on Review: Kegland DuoTight Ball Lock QDs + Limited Time BLACK FRIDAY Deal

Updated: November 27, 2024

Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing.  They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility.  They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced.  DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps.

DuoTights are… awesome.  Check out my extensive Hands on Review

When DuoTights first came out, the solution for connecting kegs to EVABarrier was using an MFL QD + DuoTight Flare fitting. That works just fine and is still the only option available to pin lock keg users.

Ball Lock keg users now have a native DuoTight option. Here’s a hands on look!

Limited Time Deal… MoreBeer Black Friday Sale!

Save on Custom Color Coded Post O-Rings “Blue for Beer, Green for Gas” via Valuebrew’s Black Friday Sale

Keg Post O-Rings - Food Safe Silicone - in BLUE

Valuebrew offers a lineup of food grade keg replacement o-rings in bulk quantities.  Most offerings are silicone or EPDM with one Buna-N option.  Everything they carry is food grade, more info below.  They have some unique offerings like bulk pin lock size post o-rings, replacement universal poppet o-rings, bulk internal QD o-rings and color coded Blue and Green post o-rings

Some of these offerings are detailed in our Keg Rebuild How-To

Custom Colors!

Valuebrew carries two color schemes to color keg posts. Doing this allows you to quickly identify keg posts. Gray and Black match standard keg QD colors. Blue and Green are meant to be remembered by “Blue for Beer” and “Green for Gas”. All options are made from FDA rated silicone. Since they work equally well on gas and liquid posts you can also mix and match to come up with your own color coding standard.

More about food safe materials:

For whatever reason, it’s difficult to find food safe keg o-rings.  Maybe some of the o-rings that are available are food safe, but very few are actually labeled as such.

The fact is we’re putting beer (food) in our kegs and we should be using food safe materials whenever we can.  More Info: Food Safe Replacement Keg O-Rings

That comes out to $204.13. It’s worth noting that these items aren’t necessarily identical and MoreBeer would be free shipping for most, but the point is… this is an outstanding deal!

+ An Outstanding Deal on Pin Locks…

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.

As of this posting Beverage Elements has these for just $34.95. That’s an outstanding deal! This the kind of price we saw 5+ years ago. Get them while you can!
