Description
Used & Tested, Ball Lock Keg, With Pressure Relief Valve
These used ball lock 5-gallon kegs, previously used for coffee, have been cleaned and hold pressure—their most important job. The exteriors feature the "Katz Coffee" logo and may show some cosmetic wear.
Kegs include the o-rings and poppits that were installed when we received the tanks and may have a faint coffee aroma. If you are concerned about the condition of the o-rings you may want to grab new o-rings and poppits here if you'd like.
If you are just getting into kegging you will need a kegging setup to go with these kegs. We sell keg systems and have a whole lot more kegging options.
Please keep in mind that these are USED kegs. Some of these kegs are probably 30 years old. Do not expect new kegs. With this said, they are going to show normal wear and tear. We are not implying that our kegs are not quality...we just want to avoid any misunderstandings. If you are unhappy with your used keg for any reason, we will gladly take it back. The purchaser will be responsible for return shipping charges.
If you are looking for new kegs, please check out our selection of new kegs. We have new 5, 3, 2.5, and 1.75-gallon kegs available.

There are a pretty good deal, mine only had minor dents and scrapes on the outside. Be sure to disassemble everything including the posts, wash and scrub them really well before using. I replaced all of the o-rings on mine as cheap insurance. They tend to smell like soda even after being cleaned but this hasn't affected the taste of anything I've stored inside.
Just received the used keg today. Keg was still under pressure which is great. I would still suggest buying new gaskets and posts though as one post was very slightly bent on top. I would HIGHLY suggest ordering these. No complaints here!
Purchased 5 kegs, all work great with a pbw cleaning and new o ring kit, nice savings over new
This is the 4th used keg I’ve purchased. They come dirty and a little beat up. AIH claims to pressure check each one before shipping. This one clearly wasn’t. Fortunately I also purchased a new o ring kit which remedied the problem. I recommend a new o ring kit if you buy one of these. I use a razor to remove the stickers, Goo Gone to remove the glue. I then completely disassemble the whole thing and give it a thorough scrubbing with a scotch brite and Dawn detergent. After that you just sanitize and you’re ready to use.
Tried our first used keg, and after a good cleaning and a pressure test it looks and functions like new. Will be getting another soon.
I'll buy new from now on. Keg was nasty and dented, but hey, I tried it once!
Keg was just as described on the website. Just needed a good cleaning and we put it right into service as a 2nd keg in our sparkling water maker. We bought the $4 o-ring and seal set at the same time and I changed the old ones out for new just to avoid any issues. Everything seems to be working fine!
I have gotten three used kegs from AIH. They have been in great shape after a good cleaning and soak. When there was an issue with one of them, they shipped me the part I needed as soon as they could. Thanks AIH!
5 Gallon Cornelius Keg, Ball Lock (Used)
Keg came as described. I disassembled the keg and cleaned it reassembled it than checked to see if it would hold pressure for 24 hrs. I will be buying a few more Kegs in the future.
Few bashes but decent condition given its second hand. Have a brew of stout kegged in one, all working as expected
Keg arrived quickly, properly packed, and reasonably clean. It had a bit of some soda leftover inside, cleaning it was very easy. It seems to hold pressure properly although just in case I bought new ring seals.
Luckily it was drip shipped so it arrived quickly....
The keg was as expected - used, but in good condition and absolutely serviceable.
The only issue is the the schrader air valve and adapter (to fit the keg) did not include the one-way check valve as advertised on the website. This is not too much of an issue if the keg is not inverted, but it is a bit disappointing it was not included.
These kegs are great! These used kegs may come dirty but with cleaning they function. Remember, the are used. There was only one time I had an unusable keg and since AIH has great customer service they were quick to fix the problem. I have been buying these kegs for several years as I expand. You pay three times as much for a new keg that functions the same way so don’t buy new.
Arrived in good shape , still had pressure in tank ,tank was clean !
Came full of pressure which obviously meant no leaks.
Took the keg apart and PBW’d everything. Put new O-rings on and good as new.
These are great used kegs. I'm 4 for 4 on them. All hold pressure and the seals are mostly all still good. I had to replace only a few o rings between all 4 kegs. All 4 did arrive with some liquid inside but a quick scrub and then soak in PBW made them almost like new!
I ordered two kegs and they both arrived still holding pressure. One of them had severe handle issues but when I reached out I got very prompt replies and another keg was shipped within a week so absolutely no complaints about the customer service! Just docking 1 star for the one keg that was obviously damaged but still was shipped.
Outside of that, they are used kegs. Could have used an exterior hose down before shipping but nothing I am upset about. Hose the exterior, soak and clean the interior, get new o rings and gasket and good to go!
Rapid deliver, had issue with product and was quickly remedied. Highly recommend this company.
The keg is clearly used, and has cosmetic defects, but everything important works; and it holds pressure. There was some residual soda still in the keg, but after a good wash with PBW, it is good to go. It is a good way to save a $100 on a keg, if you don't mind the outside looking a little beat up; so much so, that I immediately bought 2 more.
The kegs arrived in a timely fashion. Each keg was a little banged up nothing serious but expected when used. Each keg was holding pressure when it arrived. I disassembled and cleaned replacing o-rings that looked worn. The kegs are now in use and working perfectly.
5 Gallon Cornelius Keg, Ball Lock (Used)
Love the used 5 gallon kegs. The 3 gallon kegs were even better.
Love them
Shipment was timely but one of the items didn’t meet the “tested “ designation. When I contacted customer service about this issue, they were extremely responsive and took full responsibility for the oversight. They not only addressed my concerns but also went above and beyond by sending a complementary corny keg.
The keg was delivered looking like it had sat in a barn for ten years. However, after a quick washing up, I noticed the seals were still in good shape, the posts looked shiny and new, add the keg body has only cosmetic scratches. I'm very happy with my purchase. The price cannot be beat. I will certainly be buying another one soon.
I ordered 2 corny kegs for a project. I opted to add the O-ring to each of them. Only one came with an O-ring around the opening, had to go purchase another separately, which was frustrating.
One of the kegs also leaks at the input point and lost all pressure during my project.
They were used but overall better than I expected.
I received the keg that I ordered. It was a little delayed in delivery but not terribly late. It was holding pressure. When I disassembled it for cleaning one of the O ring seals was broken so I’ll have to buy new seals for it. Otherwise it is in good shape
