WTB: Beer Kegs

[xxsn0blindxx]

Anybody have a line on full size beer kegs like the one pictured below? I'm looking for some to use in home brewing.

How many you want? I own a bar and as long as you pay the deposit that Miller/Bud charges you can have as many as you want.

I'm looking for one or two, how much is the deposit?

^^^ Deposit is now $30, it was $10 about 2 years ago.

But, you don't want a normal keg for home brew. You actually want a soda keg (the kind you can open and pour stuff inside). If you look at the picture, that keg has a weird coulper.

Typical tap beers use a stankey coulper to get the air in and beer out. You can't easily fill or clean a stankey keg.

Midwest brewers on hwy 100 has some soda kegs for around $30.

I'm actually looking for kegs to use as kettles for a RIMS or HERMS system, not for kegging. The size of a keg and the stainless steel construction is ideal for all grain brewing.

That's awesome. I'm still trying to decide what layout to use. I'd like to do a single tier like that, but I think it's going to take up way too much space. I'd also like to keep it indoors so I'm planning on going all electric and using water heater elements either in the liquor tank or in a recirculating setup.
