What is better pin lock or ball lock kegs?
Both will hold 5 gallons, or about 40 pints of your favorite homebrew.

MFL and FFL fittings are simply a type of compression. The M in MFL and the F in FFL simply stand for Male and Female.

Why is it called a Sankey keg?
Sanke kegs have a single valve on the top of them that allows for both beer and gas to pass-through. The beer flows via a spear in the valve that runs to the bottom of the sanke keg. A sankey coupler is essentially sanitary key (Sankey) to unlock the beer inside the sanke keg.
Are Pepsi kegs ball lock?
Pepsi landed on the Ball Lock style while Coke uses the Pin Lock style. Homebrewers have since re-purposed these as homebrew beer kegs.

Can you transfer beer from keg to keg?
The simplest way to do this is to attach a “gas in” fitting (usually grey for Pepsi kegs) to the “gas in” post and let the keg vent. (This is why you want only a small amount of pressure on the keg.) Beer will move up the spear and out of the first keg and down the spear and into the second keg.
