Kegging 5 gallons?

psuhammer14 · Mar 8, 2016

Silly question, is it possible to keg 5 gallon batches? I'm wondering if I will need to step up to 10G batches in order to eventually keg my beer. I'm putting together a wish list of equipment for my switch to an AG setup.

Most homebrew kegs are designed for 5 gallon batches. So yes.

Corny kegs and Sanke 1/6 or sixtel kegs are both 5 gallons, well 5 1/6 gallons for the sixtel, or 1/6 barrel.

What they said.

+1 But by stepping up to 10G batches, you get 2 kegs! That's a win-win! :mug:

Or shell out for a nice, shiny 10 gallon corny if you can find one.

Or keg 7.75 gallons in a sanke 1/4 keg.

excellent, thanks again guys. I'm looking forward to getting some AG equipment, and will most likely stick with 5G batches.
