Deeks Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Just thought it would be good to see how many kegs everyone has and how many kegs you think is enough. I currently have 8 kegs which I don't think is enough so would want to get another 4 kegs to have a total of 12 kegs which I think would be the ideal amount.

Stuart Hitchens Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I currently have 6 Kegs, and about 80 stubbies, but that's not going to be enough, I am doing 1 keg and about 15-16 stubbies per Brew, I find the stubbies while a slight additional pain to fill and manage, it means I can have some always in the fridge for a single drink as I get a single glass per pour without any sediment, but find the kegs great for weekend when having a few people around, but where I have found a brew I like I will do extra kegs. Plan is up to 20 Kegs, lucky I go a lot of storage LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Pop Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Good initiative Deek's, I started of thinking that 4 would be enough, but I have pretty quickly gone to 8 and now 12 in the last few weeks. I guess it has a lot to do with ones consumption requirements and having sufficient conditioned and varied stock to cater peak periods, such as family and friends visits. I also have about 8 doz long necks from before BrewArt as a back up. However, a big part of the BrewArt attraction was to have beer on tap. So at this stage I'm going with 12 but this might change!!

Gibbo Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 4 kegs is working well for me, particularly since I go off on tangents that dont involve brewprints AND I do one keg and the remainder bottles when I do want to keg a print. When working with ciders or canned ingredients I dont yet have the knowledge or confidence to chance a brew to the keg, as if it goes wrong, I lose too much productivity for my liking. So it is all bottles for those ones, for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Rundle-Curry Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Living in QLD where the ambient temp in the house gets up to 30C I can only fit 4 in my wine fridge, once it starts to cool down I will definitely buy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeks Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I guess most of us haven't got as many kegs since we are just starting out and haven't built us enough stock to require having more kegs. At the moment I tend to drink the kegs as fast as I brew them so don't have any spares although if I had more kegs I would drink them slower and try to build up some more stock with would also allow my kegs to condition for a bit longer too. I am just waiting for the BrewArt store to have another discount on kegs so then I can order a few more sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 For me to have shock ready and enjoy a beer when I'd like, I would idealy like about 20 kegs and 24 tallies. That way i would have to worry about waiting for it to prime, and another droid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
