Remember When? Kegging System – $89!

The product picture from 2011 featuring AIH’s original logo

Back in March of 2011 we featured this keg setup from Adventures in Homebrewing for the first time. This post got a lot of traction on reddit and homebrewing forums and ended up helping a lot of people find Homebrew Finds.

Since then Adventures in Homebrewing has gone the way of Midwest Supplies and Austin Homebrew Supply. It’s become a vanity brand of Northern Brewer. Of course this 2011 deal is no longer available. But…for good old times here’s a throwback post.

What you got for $89…

5 Gallon Ball Lock Kegging System from Adventures in Homebrewing.  Includes a used ball lock keg, new keg o-rings, Taprite dual gauge regulator, all required tubing disconnects and a faucet.  Pick up a good used CO2 tank locally and you’re up and going.

You Get:

  • TapRite T-Handle dual gauge regulator
  • Used 5 gallon ball lock corny keg
  • Gas line assembly with 5′ of thick wall line and MFL fitting
  • Picnic tap assembly with 4′ of thick wall beer line and MFL fitting
  • New Set of O-rings

This was an amazing deal back then. 13 years later in 2024, you really can’t even get a keg for that price from some retailers.

A great (current!) deal on a kegging setup!

5 Gallon Pin Lock Keg Kit With CO2 Regulator – Tank Not Included

5 Gallon Pin Lock Keg Kit With CO2 Regulator

  • Reconditioned Class 1 5 gallon pin-lock keg, sanitized, de-labeled, and pressure-checked (CK2-CL1)

Used Pin Lock Kegs for… about $79 at Northern Brewer w/25% off coupon OR $49.99 shipped with an alternate deal

Reconditioned Pin Lock Keg Cornelius (Corny)

Reconditioned Pin Lock Keg Cornelius (Corny) via Northern Brewer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Pin lock kegs are perfect for kegging your homebrew, cider, or soda, these reconditioned pin lock 5-gallon kegs are used, but have been tested and approved to hold pressure — their most important task. Though the exteriors may have cosmetic damage, we guarantee that they are pressure-capable and we personally pressure test each and every one when it comes through our doors.

Needed, but not included, is a CO2 cylinder, Regulator, and Pin Lock Gas (KX07) and Beverage (KX09) lines.

Looking for a more comprehensive system? See our Draft Brewer® keg systems.

Along with pressure testing each keg, we replace the lid o-rings and outer-post o-rings, if needed. Many of our competitors do not do this, but we want to make absolutely sure you are satisfied — even if it a used keg at a low price! Our technicians have also cleaned each keg with a caustic soda rinse — but even so — the keg may retain a sweet smell similar to a lemon-lime soft drink. The keg exteriors have not had extensive cleaning, so as with most “used” soda kegs we recommend that you thoroughly clean the keg inside (again) and out before using.

A note about o-rings: If you are concerned about the condition of the o-rings you may purchase extra o-rings separately, in case any tear during use.

This amazing price is worth a few dents! Because these kegs are used, many show exterior wear and tear that will not affect the keg performance to hold pressure. Holding pressure is the keg main function, and it will keep your beer tasting fresh and delicious. The affordability of buying “reconditioned” is definitely worth a few scratches and dents.

These kegs are sourced from a variety of vendors and are not customer returns. They may not look new, but they work like new, thus the major discounted price from that of a brand new keg.

22″ Tall x 8.75″ diameter.

Note: Keg Lube can help prevent CO2 leaks and prolong the life of the keg seals.

 

As of this update Northern Brewer and their vanity brands AIH, Midwest and Austin have used pin locks for $79.99.

They are running a 25% off sale, coupon code below.

Shipping is an extra cost at Northern Brewer. For me it’s $19.02 (that’s going to vary based on location). That figures to $79.01 with shipping.

Or from… $49.99 (shipped) or less

5 Gallon Pin Lock Keg – Dual Handle – Reconditioned

Reconditioned 5 Gallon Pin Lock Keg

Our reconditioned pin lock homebrew keg is the perfect affordable solution for home brewing and beverage making.  Pin locks are the alternative to the more-common ball lock kegs, and they have some unique features and benefits of their own.

First, the “pin” part refers to the method of attaching the disconnects to the keg posts. Pin lock kegs have (not surprisingly) pins on each post – two on the liquid, one on the gas. These pins hold the disconnects very securely, and because there’s two pins on the liquid side and three on the gas, you’ll never confuse one line for the other. Kinda cool.

Second, pin lock kegs are typically shorter than similarly sized ball locks, making them ideal when space is a little tight.

Finally, they’re cheap! These kegs give great bang for the buck without giving up anything in performance.

So go ahead and do something a little different. Grab a classic 5 gallon pin lock keg or three and stand out in the homebrew crowd. (Oh, and they’re also pretty great for cold brew coffee, nitro coffee, soda, Kombucha tea, and whatever else you’re drinkin’)

Reconditioned 5 Gallon Pin Lock Keg Features

  • Durable stainless steel construction
  • Dual rubber handles—colors will vary
  • Reconditioned – cleaned, sanitized, de-labled and pressure-checked prior to shipment
  • We replace the keg O-rings as necessary during testing. We still recommend that you keep a spare set on hand at all times, as O-rings sometimes crack in transit and when you clean the keg.
  • Great for homebrew beer, soda, and Kombucha tea, as well as nitro coffee and cold brew coffee

Keg Specifications

  • Keg body of 304 stainless steel
  • Approved by the NSF
  • 9″ diameter x 22″ height. Keg dimensions may vary slightly from wear.

This is a Class 1 keg. That’s the best condition used keg we offer, but please remember the keg is still used and will have some scratches, dents and signs of wear

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.

These are selling for just $34.95. That’s an outstanding deal! Shipping (again for me, this will vary) is $15.04. That figures to just $49.99. Shipping for two kegs is just $15.61. That figures to $85.59 or just $42.80 per keg shipped.

Remember When? 2011 Deal on 15.5 Gallon Keggle with Welded Port

Back in April of 2011 we featured this 15.5 gallon converted keggle for just $99.99 as a special HBF promotion.  At that time, AIH offered 50 kettles at that price as a special promotion on HBF to celebrate our fledgling partnership.

More more recently Adventures in Homebrewing has gone the way of Midwest Supplies and Austin Homebrew Supply. It’s become a vanity brand of Northern Brewer. Of course this 2011 deal is no longer available. But…for good old times here’s a throwback post.

Adventures in Homebrewing Black Friday Sale??

Adventures in Homebrewing’s annual Black Friday Sale used to feature some of the best homebrew deals of the year.

Since AIH has become a vanity storefront of Northern Brewer (along with Midwest Supplies and Austin Homebrew Supply) that has all changed.

Their sale this year (link below) is 20% off a limited selection of gear and supplies. Many of those have an arguably high retail price to begin with (Example – this vs this).. Looking back at previous content, they pretty regularly offer this level of discount so other than being called a Black Friday sale, it’s well… You decide.

Lots of outstanding deals are going on, check out our Black Friday Deal Roundup!

Reconditioned Ball Lock Kegs for Lots LESS than AIH’s Black Friday Sale!

homebrew keg deal

5 Gallon Cornelius Keg, Ball Lock (Used)

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Used & Tested, Ball Lock Keg, With Pressure Relief Valve
Used & Pressure Tested – Ball Lock – Includes Pressure Relief Valve Lid

Cleaned and pressure tested 5 gallon, stainless steel, cornelius style tank. These tanks are guaranteed to hold pressure. 25″ tall and 8.5″ diameter. Tanks will show normal wear and tear.

Kegs include the o-rings and poppits that were installed when we received the tanks. We will often change an o-ring or poppit to get the tank to hold pressure. Grab new o-rings and poppits here if you’d like.

If you are just getting into kegging you will need a kegging setup to go with these kegs. We sell keg systems and have a whole lot more kegging options.

We know some homebrewers are more picky than others, so please keep in mind that these are USED kegs. Some of these kegs are probably 30 years old. Do not expect new kegs. If you are looking for new kegs, please check out our new kegs. With this said, they are going to show normal wear and tear. We are not implying that our kegs are not quality…we just want to avoid any misunderstandings.

If you are unhappy with your used 5 Gallon Cornelius Kegs for any reason, we will gladly take them back. The purchaser will be responsible for return shipping charges.

 

As of this update Northern Brewer and their vanity brand AIH have used ball locks for a whopping $84.99.

Shipping is an extra cost at Northern Brewer. For me it’s $18.94. That figures to $103.93. Compare that to brand new kegs below and if you live in the contiguous US this would be $21.44 MORE than brand new kegs with the deal below.

AIH has started a Black Friday Sale. That’s 20% off select items. Check your email for that coupon as it’s email only at this point. Used kegs qualify. so $84.99 minus 20% is… $67.99.

Or, how about RECONDITIONED kegs for quite a bit less?

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 $39.95. 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.

Adventures in Homebrewing, a vanity brand of Northern Brewer along with Midwest Supplies and Austin Homebrew Supply, is discounting Oregon Fruit Purees by 15% when you spend $125 or more. Coupon code and link below.

OR An Outstanding Deal at Label Peelers…

The problem is Adventures in Homebrewing is retailing these for between… $64.99 and $31.99. So you’re getting 15% off a retail price that’s pretty easily double what you can find elsewhere.

  • Label Peelers has these same purees start at just $15.11 via a limited time sale.
  • Shipping is an additional cost based on your location.  Because of minimum shipping costs, it may make sense to place a larger order.  Additional items may ship for minimal cost.  Example: Shipping (for me) for 1 lb of Citra is $8.93.  2 lbs cost $9.18 to ship.  That second pound costs just 25 cents to ship.  That’s minimum shipping at work.

Why a Stir Plate? The constant motion of a stir plate integrates oxygen, puts yeast in constant contact with nutrients, relieves built up CO2 and generally helps yeast to grow more rapidly.  That also means smaller starters.

Northern Brewer has this stir plate for $174.99. It’s also currently the same price via their vanity store fronts AIH, Midwest and Austin

TRIPLE Rewards Points = 15% Back – Is this still a good deal?

Adventures in Homebrewing’s Rewards program typically offers about 5% back. Each qualifying item earns 1 point per dollar. 200 points gets you a $10 discount code.

For a limited time, they’re giving triple points back. That equates to about 15% back on most things including many sale items.

MAP items are generally excluded. I’ve never seen a product marked as MAP on AIH’s website although I know some lines should be MAP so this is a bit of a question mark.

You must be logged in to earn rewards and points expire after 12 months (as of this posting)

Rewards <<< Important, go to this page to double check that 5x rewards points are still being offered.

Is this a good deal??

At the end of the day the price to your door is what matters. The problem is that AIH’s prices are have gotten to be high on many things. I’ll take two kegs as an example….

Used Ball Lock Kegs for… about $103.93 at Northern Brewer OR… Get BRAND NEW kegs for $21 LESS!

5 Gallon Cornelius Keg, Ball Lock (Used)

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Used & Tested, Ball Lock Keg, With Pressure Relief Valve
Used & Pressure Tested – Ball Lock – Includes Pressure Relief Valve Lid

Cleaned and pressure tested 5 gallon, stainless steel, cornelius style tank. These tanks are guaranteed to hold pressure. 25″ tall and 8.5″ diameter. Tanks will show normal wear and tear.

Kegs include the o-rings and poppits that were installed when we received the tanks. We will often change an o-ring or poppit to get the tank to hold pressure. Grab new o-rings and poppits here if you’d like.

If you are just getting into kegging you will need a kegging setup to go with these kegs. We sell keg systems and have a whole lot more kegging options.

We know some homebrewers are more picky than others, so please keep in mind that these are USED kegs. Some of these kegs are probably 30 years old. Do not expect new kegs. If you are looking for new kegs, please check out our new kegs. With this said, they are going to show normal wear and tear. We are not implying that our kegs are not quality…we just want to avoid any misunderstandings.

If you are unhappy with your used 5 Gallon Cornelius Kegs for any reason, we will gladly take them back. The purchaser will be responsible for return shipping charges.

 

As of this update Northern Brewer and their vanity brand AIH have used ball locks for a whopping $84.99.

Shipping is an extra cost at Northern Brewer. For me it’s $18.94. That figures to $103.93. Compare that to brand new kegs below and if you live in the contiguous US this would be $21.44 MORE than brand new kegs with the deal below.

OR, how about you head over to homebrewer run MoreBeer and get outstanding quality NEW KEGS for LESS…
