New 3 Gallon Ball Lock Keg

The kegs purchased are now in use and working perfectly. They have the extra capacity for 6 gallon batches.

Very good service and fast delivery.

When I received the keg it was very blemished in the outside and I thought I received a used keg. The inside looked fine so I moved on.
It had a chemically smell the first couple weeks. After about a dozen pbw washes the smell faded away.
I have an herbal stout getting fizzed up as I write this and it’s my second batch. All good in da hood!

I picked up two for taking some home brew out to share at some events. Worked great! I’m planning on obtaining or building a better cooler set up than the old Coleman I used with the first “traveling with beer” trip to my nieces wedding and I’m looking forward to sharing more of the good stuff.

This size works well for my needs. I make 5-gallon batches, and I like to put half in bottles and the other half in this size keg. The only reason I gave this a 4 rather than a 5-star rating is that the first one I bought a few years ago had something wrong with the threads on one of the posts, such that the post could not be removed (no matter how much torque my friend and I applied). Unfortunately, I did not find that out until the warranty was well past. Also unfortunately, our attempts made the post unsealable by retightening, so the keg was scrap at that point. My recommendation when purchasing this and any keg is to remove the posts when first purchased, for inspection and to make sure they can come off for cleaning and be reinstalled properly.

No head space on this little gem. The lid will only go on one way. Those two things make getting the lid installed tricky when filled with 3 gallons of liquid.
One other thing: Even thought I knew from the picture that rubber is only on the bottom, getting into and out of my keezer means a bit more caution needs to be taken than for my 5 gallon kegs which have rubber on top as well as bottom.

Love the shorter height of this keg for my keezer. I am able to fit the keg on the shelf of my keezer without having to add a ton of height. Also works well as I like to brew 8 gallon batches now. The smaller keg size also is helpful for taking beer to parties. If in doubt buy one!

These small kegs are great for small batches, fitting lots of different beers into your kegerator or kezzer, or just for bringing to parties.

I keg to my regular 5 gallon kegs first. Then I force the beer through the pressure hoses into the three gallon keg to stay cold in my mini fridge. Just one is all you need, and they last forever. I have had one for nearly 20 years, and it still looks like new.

Very nice keg but is about the same price as a 5 gallon one. Nice for bringing to parties though.

Great kegs, although all new. Easy to handle. Two fit in my kegerator, 5 gallon cornies are too tall.

I own 5 of these and love them! They work great for small test batches and pretty much everything else you want to carbonate. They clean up nice with the all stainless dome top but lack of rubber does make it more prone to damage if you move them around a lot. Expensive if you are comparing the size to price but Take care of them and they will last forever!

I bought this since it fits nicely on the hump in my keezer. It is a great little keg, but it seems a little pricey.

Great size for taking to family events. Only issue is if your buying kits as they are 5 gallon batches, can split between two of these or 2 of the 2.5 gallons kegs. Usually make all grain batches of 8.5 gallons to split between one of these and have a 5 gallon and 3 in the end._x000D__x000D_Highly suggest all brewers have a few smaller kegs like these. Excellent quality, wish they had some used ones though to cut down the price

These kegs are very good quality. But the best thing about them is that they fit in the top of my wine cabinet. Great for bulk aging in small temperature controlled spaces.

Looking forward to trying it out. Question remains as to whether I will bottle the remaining 2 gallons from a 5-gallon batch.
