And of course, what is on tap now? :rockin:
4 for now, but just procured a bigger freezer to add at least 2, one of which will be nitro
Kohatu Pale Ale
Nut Brown
Citra/crystal IPA
Hoppy Amber
How do you like the Kohatu? I have a few ounces in my freezer, thinking I should do a single hopped beer with them, perhaps.
I have 3 taps.
Kellerhell (young helles)
Schwarzbier
Black IPA
I don't know how you guys have so many taps. Do you drink like 4 beers a day? Have people over every other today? Or does each keg last like 3 months? I like to brew, I can't stand when a beer lasts more than about a month. I brew 3-4 gallon batches also...
I've got 8 on tap:
APA
DIPA
IPA
Blackberry Kolsch
Oatmeal Stout
Milk Stout
Munich Helles
Saison
I probably drink 3 beers a day and occasionally have people over for parties. Most of my kegs last 2-3 months, while some may last 6. I like to have a good variety, and can you really have too much beer on hand. Always ready for a party.
See, this would drive me crazy. Only be able to brew maybe once a month at that rate. I have to brew at least every other week. But, then again, I don't ever throw parties. The most I'll have is a couple people come over and have a couple pints. I like small and chill gatherings. That's what's great about this hobby though, we can do what we want with it.
How many cubic feet in a chest freezer do you need for 6 taps? 3? 4?
Not true, you'll temporarily brew more with more taps. Assuming that your consumption rate is constant and your pipeline is healthy, it doesn't matter if you have 1 tap or 15, you'll need to brew with the same frequency. When you add more taps, you'll have to brew more to have something for each of them, temporarily increasing the need to brew.
I brew about once a month, which is great for me, but in August, preparing to replace my single tap kegerator with a four tap keezer, i brewed three batches to have enough beer ready to get the keezer filled up. Now that it's full, it's back to monthly brews to maintain the supply.
