And home brewers picked them up! And I actually have an example of one of the old soda kegs and these are still really common in home brewing. This is a brand new one made for home brewing. The Brewers that use them they have special machines to clean them sanitize them and fill them with beer.

Pin locks use a different format for securing gas and liquid disconnects. This feature makes it impossible to mix-up which end was for gas, and which was for liquid. Sankey Kegs : Sankeys are the odd one in the bunch.
They only have one port in the center of the keg , that features a gas in as well as a liquid out in the same unit called a coupler. They do take more work to take apart, but are less prone to gas leaks due to there being less potential escape points for gas. They also come in larger sizes, like half barrel large batch brewers rejoice. This will be in two sections. First the Cornelius kegs pin and ball lock , and the other for sankey kegs. Working from the start to finish, you need a CO2 tank, which is connected to a regulator.
Regulators control the amount of pressure in the keg, which will maintain carbonation, and push the beer out of the keg on demand when you pull the tap. From the regulator you run gas line to the gas disconnect remember you need a style specific disconnect for ball and pin lock kegs. The gas disconnect will attach to your keg.
Don't forget hose clamps on all your gas and liquid lines. On the other side of your keg, you have a liquid disconnect.
