    Does anyone know a good source with a good price for pin lock kegs? I changed mine out Saturday and it was quite an ordeal with my adjustable wrench...

    Homebrew stores seem to think it's ok to charge $20 for a socket for some reason.

    It's to cover the high cost of training their employees.*
