Removing Keg Labels… A Trick That Makes it Easy

As you can see from this photo, this keg had one sticker on it.  It mostly goes around the keg.  Trying to peel this sticker off yielded… 0 positive progress.  It was stuck on the keg, presumably for years.  The actual printing itself is completely warn away.   I was only able to get very small bits of this sticker off.

I wrapped my Fermwrap heater around the keg and let it warm up for several minutes.  The idea here is to warm up the sticker and the old adhesive to make sticker removal easier.

Keg Connection Says… These are the best kegs we’ve ever seen

Premium Refurbished AEB 5 Gallon Ball Lock Keg, Rubber Handle

From Keg Connection…

These premium refurbished homebrew kegs are more recently produced than most used kegs and they’re in fantastic condition. Lightly used in the coffee industry, we’ve also taken the time to de-sticker and scrape these kegs making them closely resemble new kegs. Obviously, they’ll still some minor dents and possibly small dings as they are used – however, we’re confident that you’ll agree these are some of the best used kegs seen in recent years.

They have pre-installed new o-rings on them to eliminate any residual coffee scents and they’ve gone thru our rigorous quality assurance check which includes a thorough cleaning, pressure testing, and carefully packed shipping to ensure you receive a keg you’ll be fully satisfied with.

From HBF…

Normally I don’t really buy into the highly refurbished sort of a keg offerings because, you can buy a dirty keg and easily rebuild it yourself and save money.

However… these are AEB kegs. AEB makes some of the quality kegs on the market. See my Hands on Review to learn more.

The fact is… the era of cheap and readily available used homebrew kegs is… done. I could give you a bunch of reasoning behind that opinion including one of the best sources for used kegs… de-listing used kegs, but I’ve got a regularly updated article on the topic you can check out.

It also sounds like these kegs are in outstanding shape. So considering the sale price of $89.95 and flat rate shipping, I think this is a great deal.

Announcing: NEW Pin Lock Kegs!

new pin lock kegsThe availability of of used kegs has recently become an issue. See: Are Used Kegs Running Out?

This has been especially true of pin lock kegs, because new pin locks have not been coming on the market. To my knowledge no new pin lock offering was generally available to homebrewers. This has caused the price and availability of pin locks to be a serious issue. For example, MoreBeer’s Pin Lock offering has sky-rocketed to $85 per keg.

Well, today is a happy day… Announcing NEW Pin Lock Kegs from cornyieg.com

One thing to consider is that these are basically ball lock keg dimensions, so if you need a shorter keg, used would be the way to go.

Use Goo Gone to Remove Old Adhesive From Kegs

Used Kegs often have old stickers. After removing these we’re often left with sticky, hard to remove adhesive.  Goo Gone to the rescue!

In my experience, Goo Gone is harsh on my skin so I’m using nitrile gloves.  Glove are… handy.  Did you see what I did there? 🙂  I just work my way around the keg a few times.  That gives the Goo Gone a chance to chemically break down the adhesive while I provide some periodic agitation.  In this case the adhesive dissolved pretty quickly and the small pieces of sticker that were left came right off.  TIP: I recommend using Goo Gone sparingly.  You really don’t need that much and you certainly WOULD NOT want to use enough that it gets on the handle or base of your keg.  Goo Gone acts as a solvent for many adhesives.  It could potentially loosen up rubber handles or bases.  Then you’d need to use our Fixing Loose Handles Tip.  So, just put a little on a paper towel or rag and add a little more if you need to.A look at the used paper towel with dirt, adhesive residue and small bits of stickers on it.  Whammo!

Why this size is great: These kegs are great for splitting batches, small batch brewers, doing one-off beers from split from a 5 gallon batch… or for easily serving on the go.  Purge with CO2, fill from your tap and place in ice in a 5 gallon bucket…. whammo! You can also use these in conjunction with an inline secondary as a CO2 source for portable serving.

  • AIH has been doing very quick flash sales recently. They’ve lasted just hours. If you’re interested, my recommendation is to make your purchase sooner rather than later.
  • These are marked down a whopping $39.99 to just $90.
  • Quantities are also probably limited. No coupon code required, check product page to see if this is still available.
