Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Corny kegs are stainless, hold pressure, and are cheap. With a blow-off tube, these are best fermenters for your money.
  • Or you can also ferment in corny kegs.
  • Don’t try to save on money going with this mini-keg setup – it’s an expensive and inherently less cost effective route than corny kegs, etc.
  • The kegs aren't that annoying to clean imo, unless you have big forearms, in which case you may need a long cleaning device to get in there.
  • I got my first Corny keg yesterday and I am beyond excited to start using it.

Cons

  • Fermenting in cornies is an absolute cunt to clean, so I don't recommend it

Got 4 used cornys for $30 each with a bunch of other kegging equipment tossed in for free.

All you need is a chest freezer, a temp control unit (inkbird) and some corny kegs (ball lock is what I use).

For that cost, you can get yourself a trio of very high quality brand new corny kegs.
