wat?

Did you even try to go to that URL? lol

2/14/2011 2:11:09 PM

nobody?

2/14/2011 11:44:59 PM

why do you need one? nobody actually charges as long as you bring it back. they'll charge for the trash can, ice, and put a deposit on the rest. if you really need a shell though i think i might know somebody with one..

I am still pissed at my room mate from 2006 throwing away the 10 or so I had accumulated and that the fucking aluminum can diggers ended up with them.

I had a pyramid that was taller than the fence.

Please guys, he has a beer pong match tonight.

Yes, I just want to purchase an empty shell.

I'll be using it as a giant pot to boil homebrew in.

Purchase Keg and Pay Deposit

Drink Beer Inside Keg

Profit?

2/16/2011 10:12:38 AM

Yeah, that seems to be the popular way to acquire kegs. Not really the route I wanted to take though.

What's the deposit on a keg these days? Isnt it like $100 in raleigh?

2/16/2011 10:19:47 AM

not sure i always keep a spare

2/16/2011 12:16:03 PM

The deposit is nowhere near $100, I can't remember exactly because I haven't purchased a keg in a while but it's more in the $20 range

2/16/2011 12:28:17 PM

Well, I know it USED to be cheap...but they're also making a copy of your license these days and tagging the kegs (from what I hear) so that they know where their kegs are.

2/16/2011 2:14:12 PM

The problem they were running in to was that when metal prices were high the deposit did not cover the value of the keg....

Like you could take a keg to the scrapyard and get more for it than the deposit was, when I was younger the deposit was $10, then it went to $20, I have no idea what it is now but I do recall there being major issues with empty kegs being stolen from restaurants and people taking the shells to the scrap yard.

I do not think there is any way that its $100.

on the BEER/KEGS tab they say the deposit is $30.

edit: hmm then they say there's a $5/day fee, so i dunno.

at total wine deposits are $30 and they give you a receipt. if you return the shell with the receipt you get $30. without the receipt $20.

are most kegs made out of stainless steel or aluminum?

2/17/2011 6:00:50 PM

Stainless

2/17/2011 7:15:32 PM

Sounds like the deposit is $30 now.

When it went from $10 to $20 they did the same thing...giving you the old value of $10 since you had no way to prove you paid $20 unless you had a receipt.

2/17/2011 11:09:27 PM

i really want a SS keg for $30...but i'm not really willing to do it by "stealing" it from total wine

2/18/2011 11:53:24 AM

Looking for a 15.5 gallon stainless steel keg. Is getting one from total wine and not returning still a good way? What's the going rate from a private seller? I've seen them anywhere from 75 to 125 on craigslist.

You pay $30 and keep the keg...no big deal. They don't care whether you bring it back or not....if you do happen to bring it back they give you your money back, however most people just use it like the propane rapid exchange where you bring back an empty one and get a full one and pay just for the beer.

1/4/2014 10:10:45 AM

Total Wine was charging $50 last time I had one filled.

1/4/2014 3:08:37 PM

i just got a pony keg from total wine and more

69.99 for the miller lite
2 for tub rental
20 for tub deposit
2 for tap usage
40 for tap rental
50 for keg deposit

I have 3 under my house. I have them because I thought I would convert one to a keggle, but I haven't done it yet. I'd be willing to part with one if the price was right.

1/7/2014 10:08:00 AM

I have 2 1/2 barrel, 1 1/4. PM if you want them.
