Dave, any specs on these kegs? What grade of stainless, manufacturer, standard fittings, approved for beverage use, dimensions, sanitary welds, etc? Thinking about some new kegs..

Standard Ball Lock Fittings (notched post for gas)

Also getting in a few 2.5 gallon ones exactly like the 5 gallon ones. They look sweet.

Any chance that you have a line on some 2.5-3 gallon pin lock kegs? Adventures in Homebrewing has them but I'm scared of fucking brokerage and import fees

I ordered two from AIH and had bad poppets on both! I put a thread up on HBT about it a few weeks ago. I picked them up at the border so it was hard to beat the price but it was a PIA to get them working properly.
My suggestion would be to avoid the chinese manufactured 2.5 to 3 gal kegs. We ordered 4 (2 for me and 2 for a buddy) and we both had problems.

Thanks for the heads up. I almost ordered 4 last weekend and held off

Yah it was pretty disappointing. Apparently its quite common that the poppets cause an issue with them.. of course i found this out only after googling it to fix my problem.

There have been issues with the all stainless ones, but I haven't had any complaints. The rubber-topped ones I get are from a different company and a different setup all together. And as always, if you're local and you get them from me and you have any problems, I'll replace or fix them.
But, you all knew that.

Thanks,
Lew
