How many corny kegs do you have?

[mmb]

Had 24, sold a few, bought a few and I'm now holding with 16 or 18.

 

[MrH]

I've got 12 five gallon and two three gallon that I use as casks for my handpump

[motobrewer]

not enough.

 

[ibrewit]

I have 20 right now.
14 - 5 gallon
6 - 3 gallon

 

[Hermish]

I think I have 11 right now, and maybe 2 or 3 more in the parents shed. I can fit 8 in my keezer, but normally only have about 5 full.

 

[kryolla]

I have 5 and my keezer holds 4 and sometimes I will bottle half a 5g batch in 22oz and keg the other half. For some reason I like bottle conditioned beer.

 

[PinkyOFloyd]

12 Balls

Most are full, some are looking for work.

I usually brew 10 gallon batches. Sometimes 5 gallons. Sometimes partigyle with 5 gallons strong & 5 or 10 not so strong. Usually the strong ones (Scotch Ale/RIS/BW) get bottled.

 

[bendavanza]

I think 9 5g, one 3g, and 1 10g. I'd like some more 5g. The 10g is too much of a space hog in the keezer so I don't use it for serving anymore. I think I should start using it as a fermenter instead.

10..........................

 

[shortyjacobs]

8

Wish I had about 14, but when I finally get 14 I'll want 20.

Anyone selling kegs in the Twin Cities? CL has been dry for months :-(

For us we've got 10 total. Might pick up a few extra if we end up brewing more frequently with the new brewery this year.

Haven't bottled in several years but scored 4 cases of 16oz flip top bottles for free from an old co-worker so might bottle a few batches from time to time.

 

[mordantly]

15 ball lock variety. one for starsan, one for rootbeer, one for other sodas. i have 24oz flip tops to save 2 from the really "awesome" batches and for sake. 4 each ale pails, and 5g carboys. my '10 yield: 5 gallons so far.


my mentor has 24 pin locks, and 12 each ale pails and 5g carboys.. his yield: ~150 gallons/year.

 

[andysim]

I have three, but I want three more.

 

[the_Roqk]

Nine for me. One always full of starsan. Two in keggerator and one bulk aging. So five with nothing but air. I need to brew more. As for bottling; I usually make a 6.5 gallon batch. Keg 5 and bottle the rest.

 

[Wade E]

7 here, 5 always full now and the other 3 are empty but im working on fixing that and naturally carbing with those which I havnet done yet besides with bottles.

 

[SourHopHead]

6 and counting.

 

[Duckfoot]

34 or 35 pin locks... I forget exactly... I know the first one I polished up ended up having a pinhole leak under / right near the top rubber... That will be my StarSan keg...

 

[SkiSoloII]

Two 5 Gallon - now that I'm doing 11 Gallon batches, I need more.
Three 3 Gallon

Apologies for the cross-post, but the following applies for 2 threads.

When I first wanted to keg (in '96), I bought 3 kegs that would fit the best in my basement fridge and be portable - 3 gallon kegs. The were MUCH more available and cheaper then. I have 3 of them. I usually do 5.5-6.5 gal batches. Actually, I do 11-12 gallons split between carboys, with a different yeast in each. I keg 3 gals and bottle the rest. Works great. sure wish I could find more 3-gallon carboys cheap (I know, - don't go there).

Plus, I find a difference in bottle-conditioned vs. keg conditioned (force carbed) taste. It's almost like having 4 beers out of one 11 gallon brewday!

Regards,

Dave

Almost all my cornys were purchased before the prices went crazy, some low as $6 each.

 

[stevehaun]

I lost count. I brew with 3 other people and the kegs are in a constant state of flux. I have > 30 but I don't know the exact number.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Two brand new used ones.

 

[cowgo]

4 taps, 6 cornies. One with star san.

Brew in a queue is what you must do.

 

[tlarham]

I have 16 -- they were free from a scrapper. I just had to clean the bejeezus out of them. Solved my pin vs ball lock dillema...they were pin lock, and the price was right.

There were actually 19...but 3 had been used as target practice. I have my first-ever kegged beer right now. :rockin:

 

[kronik]

11 and counting...

 

[BackBayBrewing]

I have two now, but I found a guy in CT that has over 1,000 used corny kegs that he is willing to sell cheap when you buy in bulk so I think I will be getting some of my friends together and buying quite a few more.

 

[churdbird]

two new, and five used.

 

[buzzkill]

some of you have way to many. I got 2. need some more for sure. but I also have 2 uncut sankeys. nothing like tapping 15.5 gal. of pale ale. but damn some of you!!

Then you don't want to hear I have eleven 15.5 with three 7.75 kegs in storage, only paid $40 for two 15.5 the rest were all free as well four 20# C02bottles. I went over the top and offered $30 for a 150 cu/ft Nitrogen bottle for stout gas mixes and the seller said it's yours.

 

[kmack747]

15 5 gallon
1 10 gallon

 

[boogyman]
