How many kegs brewery

Although we do not endorse doing so, the Mini Keg is the only realistic keg that a human can consume in one sitting, unless you're Andre the Giant or Wade Boggs.

A step up from 64oz growlers , the Mini Keg holds about 10 pints, which is more than plenty enough to get sauced. As with all good brand fights, the Corny Keg can be divided up by pin lock and ball lock, or, Coke vs Pepsi. Corny kegs were originally used for soda fountains, and Coke's featured pin locks, while Pepsi's featured ball locks. That's the story in summary. These kegs are no longer used by the soda industry, and as such, have become available to Homebrewers.

Their size and portability make them a great choice for the craft beer lover turned brewer who wants to share some with their friends. A home brewer, turned commercial Massachusetts Brewer , once brought a few Sixth Barrel Kegs to a wedding of a friend we had in common. WAY better than a wedding filled with buckets of Bud Light.

The difference is all in the dimensions. The regular Quarter barrel has the width of the Half, with a reduced height. The Slim Quarter has the height of the Half Barrel, with a reduced width.

Same 30 liters of beer inside, just a different shape. So will the Tall Quarter, go figure. We joke, we love Europe and their European barrels. And, the metric system makes so much more sense.

This import keg shares far more in common with the Half Barrel than the Quarter, with several European brands shipping them over to the states.

The name is a bit misleading, as it is considered to be a full size keg today. I assume no one could pick up a full barrel back in the day the s , and henceforth, the half barrel keg became defacto. However, the guy from Game of Thrones just deadlifted 1, pounds, so anything is possible these days. Let's see the Mountain do a keg toss with a full barrel of beer! The Half Barrel is a In case you're wondering how many cups are in I suggest that you should really run the numbers on having a taproom.

Profits are considerably better. I too am in the start up stage and I am in a state with antiquated laws. I would focus more on a taproom if I could. Unfortunately we do not have the capital for a tap room, I have run the numbers and we can still maintain decent profits until we save up enough capital to buy a tap room.

Retail space is not cheap on Long Island. I have run all the numbers, I am aware that having a tap room would increase our profits greatly. Well, in that case there have been other threads on this issue.

But I would think if you are self distributing then you should get at least 3 times the number of taps. I would however go with more. You need to account for those in service, those that need to be picked up, cleaned, to be cleaned and also those that walk off. So I would look at times personally. I think this is actually more of a personal choice. Everyone will do it different.

Best of luck. Originally posted by Biggness View Post. I have run the numbers and we can still maintain decent profits until we save up enough capital to buy a tap room. Sent from my Microsoft Bob Beer is like porn.

You can buy it, but it's more fun to make your own. Originally posted by a10t2 View Post. Four per handle gives you a lot more wiggle room. Given that, you just need to survey your retailers to find out how fast their beer moves.

With very realistic numbers we can make about per week after all costs. Any costs that you feel I might be missing, I would greatly appreciate. Another thing I forgot to mention is that we will be able to directly sell growlers to customers at farmers markets.

Not that that'll be a huge portion of our sales, but it'll be a nice profit margin. Number of Kegs needed estimate I see that you contract brew. At the end of the day, people want to see your brewery where you make your beer. Full contract brewer has an "image" issue.
