I purchased some kegs from an instate large craft brewery that no longer had use of the size, 50L. I bought them a while before I knew my brewery would be off the ground because I got a decent deal on them. I purchased them, had them shipped and put them straight into storage.
It's now a year later, my brewery is getting off the ground and the kegs are now in my building where I'm removing the spears and cleaning them up. In my interactions with the seller I explicitly asked how old, at the oldest, these kegs would be. It was clearly indicated they were no older than five years old. That knowledge played a factor in my purchasing of them.
I'm cleaning them now, as I said before, and am learning that most of the kegs have a manufacture date of 1984! Now, I'm partial to 1984, i really liked the book, it was the year I was born, but it was not the year I thought my kegs would be from.
Do I still have a leg to stand on in going back to the seller? What the hell would I even say or want as recompense? I'm not pleased, as I know at 31 my body is breaking down and I'm sure these kegs are as well, but the seller can't make them younger.
An odd situation to be sure, so please weigh in with your thoughts.
Thank you, ProBrewer.
