Pin Lock Keg Pricing and Availability
Pin Lock Keg Pricing…
There’s been a real reversal in used keg pricing. When I started brewing pin locks were cheaper than ball locks, but that has changed.
It’s been hard to find good used pin locks at times with some suppliers selling out even when selling at high prices.For example, see MoreBeer’s Pin Lock offering has been selling for a whopping $85 for many months. At times they have sold out for long periods of time even at that high price.
This is all related to availability. New pin lock kegs are not coming into the homebrewing market in mass and we’ve hit an availability wall.
Considering the current climate, 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.
Update: MoreBeer’s $85 offering has sold out… again
MoreBeer’s $85 offering has sold out again. This offering has experience MULTIPLE sellouts at this price point.
This is a testament to the scarcity and cost of pin lock kegs.

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. 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!
