I need to get my hands on another keg, so if anyone has one let me know! I'm talking sankey, not corney.

Thanks!

Morris Tick Company they still get kegs in sometimes.

A growing trend to stop the sale of "scrap" kegs to dealers..:

Morris Tick has an agreement with the beer distributers now that they will only accept kegs (half barrels, quarter barrels) if they are cut in half. Morris Tick will no longer buy kegs that are in one piece. This is a bummer for us but it also helps out small microbreweries that cannot afford to lose that expensive keg like the big breweries can.

So, if we can get Morris Tick to consider a 14" diameter cut out of the TOP half of the keg as "cut in half", we're golden! Laughing

I like your thinking but I believe John (scrap manager) at Morris Tick's said the agreement was "cut in half". Never hurts to ask! Good luck!
