Meh

I recently ordered two of these used kegs, both had minor cosmetic damage and while one of them was adequate to be used for beer after a thorough cleaning and replacing of O rings (though the lid seal is definitely questionable) the other one was very badly worn. The comments below refer to this worn keg.



There is a significant amount of dents, one of which protruded about half an inch into the wall of the keg. The lid was very difficult to remove due to dried soda on the inside. The gas keg post was exceptionally difficult to remove due to soda being dried on the inside. After spending 15+ minutes trying to pry it off manually I decided to stop stripping the grooves of the post and had to special order a part for my drill to remove it. Once it was off the post itself seems fine but the threads it screws onto are not coming clean regardless of how much Oxiclean or PBW I throw at it. I've yet to see how or if it will hold pressure.



I understand that these are as-is purchases, but given the price I'd expect there to be a better value. I'm not able to replace the threaded part for the keg post that seemingly has some permanent Dr. Pepper rust, so I'm at a loss for that. Seems like a gamble of a product, and to me, it's not necessarily worth it.
