Cornelius kegs much easier to manage fill and clean,19l lots of breweries using them now and they are cheap!

Hi DLC and welcome!

You need to be a bit more specific!

What is "Lager on the go"?

If you want to sell kegged beer to pubs you need kegs!

All the big boys have their own s/s branded kegs (30 or 50L) with standard keg couplers (Heino and Guiness et. al.)

Smaller micros buy legal, re-furbished 50L kegs with their fitting of choice.

More and more micros are going with one way plastic kegs (Enviro keg or something like - just google)

Us homebrewers use cornies!
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

HA!

Good Lord.

Well yes I am trying to get my lager into pubs, have company set up and in process of getting license. All I need now is to know where to get suitable kegs and fittings etc. I am familiar with Cornelius but have never used 'proper' ones.

I don't think you can buy refurbished kegs. The breweries tend to use them until they are beyond bollocksed and even then they'd sooner scrap them than sell them onto a competitor.

You can buy new kegs here.

You realise that having a license and a company is not enough to legally sell beer right?
You also need a bonded warehouse and that's before health and safety get involved. Your best option might be to contract brew at an already bonded brewery. They will be able to help you with kegs too. Key kegs might be your best option in that case.

OK great so a bonded brewery means what exactly?
