Anybody have a clue what these normally sell for and also if there is a good way to clean and cap them.
thanks

I use the 15.5 gal kegs and have used them for years. When you get them take the supply tube out and clean it. I use an expansion plug to seal the keg with syrup. You can get the expansion plugs at a hardware or auto supply store. Most of the rubber expansion plugs are not food grade so I use a sandwich bag to keep the rubber from making contact with the syrup.
To get the supply tube out all you need to do is remove the snap ring holding it in (I use a cuple of screwdrivers) then turn the tube until it lines up with the tab and it lifts right out.
As for the cost don't pay any more than the deposit required to get them at the package store.
