Plastic Casks and Kegs

[Rosie]

Guys,

Just spinning off from the Keg theft thread.

I mentioned that some micros are using plastic casks (9 UK gallon Firkins) here in the UK. A few people have expressed interest. Here is some supplier information...disclaimer is that I don't have experience with this supplier. Tariq, is this who you use?

On their website, there are plastic kegs (30l and 50l) as well as casks.

What do they cost and are they reuseable? how much do they weigh? how do you clean them? seem quite intriging.
