A Pin Lock Carbonation Cap?
Pictured: Carbonation and Line Cleaning Ball Lock Cap – via MoreBeer
Carbonation Caps fit on 1L and 2L size PET Bottles and allow you to pressurize a PET bottle for transporting or preserving the carbonation level of your homebrew (Squeeze out the air in the headspace first to minimize oxygen pickup). You can also use them to quickly carbonate homebrew and fine tune carbonation levels (maybe for competition entry) and… more.
2.65 Gallon Ball Lock Kegs
LuckyHigh 2.65 Gallon (10 L) Mini Beer Barrel 304 Stainless Steel HomeBrew Keg with Ball Lock Keg Post System
More InfoHighlighted Features
- This mini ball lock keg is made of 304 stainless steel, durable and easy to clean.
- The keg capacity is 2.65 gallons (10 liters), small and mighty.
- The keg can carbonate the homebrew in minutes, and control carbonation real-time
- It can adjust pressure quickly, and you can instantly pour pint beer.
- It is portable, compact barrel, used for the small batch brewer.
Why this size is great: 2.5 to 3 gallon 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.

Why This Keg is Such a Great Deal
Cornelius Keg | Ball Lock Keg | 5 Gallon | Dual Handle | KOMOS® from MoreBeer!
From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:
- New ball lock keg—no need to clean out an old, used Coke or Pepsi soda keg
- Dual rubber handles make it easy to grip, lift, and move the keg when full
- Rubber base is less likely to damage flooring in your home or kegerator
- Made from 304 stainless steel, robotically welded
- NSF approved
Brand new corny-style ball lock keg with molded rubber base and dual-handle tops. The handles are comfortable to grip, making the keg easier to handle when full. The rubber bottom allows for stacking, won’t scuff your floor, and is less likely to damage tile or crack the plastic lining inside your kegerator. High-quality 304 stainless steel construction. These kegs are NSF-approved, robotically welded, and manufactured in an ISO 9001-certified facility.
Features:
Ball lock
130 PSI Operating Pressure
5 Gallon (19 L) Capacity
304 Stainless Steel
Dimensions:
Height: 25.25 in.
Diameter: 8.75 in.
We first announced this in March. They sold out in relatively short order.
As of this post they’re back in stock and still at the introductory price of just $99.99. Considering shipping is also free to many US addresses, this is a bargain.
The price is going to go up… I’m confident pricing on these will go up as the single handle version is $50 MORE. Single handle kegs are typically cheaper than double handle kegs so I could see this keg going up above $149.99.

Announcing: NEW Pin Lock Kegs!
The 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
- CORNY KEG 5 GALLON PIN LOCK KEG – SS
- CORNY KEG 5 GALLON PIN LOCK KEG – SS – 2 PACK
- CORNY KEG 2.5 GALLON PIN LOCK KEG – SS
- CORNY KEG 2.5 GALLON PIN LOCK KEG – SS 2 PACK
- 3 GALLON PIN LOCK KEG – SS
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!
Search Amazon for “Goo Gone” to shop around for available options
This write-up is part of my post on rebuilding kegs – Jump To This Section – If you look through the post you’ll see just how good the keg looks at the end.
