How many kegs?

[scottland]

That wasn't very helpful for me.

Neither were your answers. If you actually play along, you'll get a pretty good guess.

How do you think breweries figure out how many fermenters and kegs they need? Math holds the answers....

I have 9 as well. With 6 taps flowing in 2 kegerators at home. I currently have 7 of the 9 full of homebrew, with two more batches in the ferment chamber right now. Only one of the kegs is about to kick, my stout, but I have a friend who bought a corny for HIS kegerator that I brew beer for who likes it and I'll do a double batch of stout next time around.

8 ball, 2 pin and 2 sankey. All 5 gallon. 1 pin always has water the sankeys are for a portable set up and the rest rotate through a 5 spigot keg-o-rator.

I sound like a gluten but I have 40 ball lock and brew 15 gal batches and some 1bbl batches. I have 10 taps two nitro and 8 reg and alot of friends !!I secondary in them as well. right now I have 7 sitting and the others are in either place

I have 10 kegs. 5 are conditioning and two are in my Kegerator.

8 kegs 4 always on tap

I brew mostly in the winter because the conditions in my cellar are perfect for fermentation with temps at 62. I fill as many as possible and set aside for conditioning. When I'm ready to put one on tap I dry hop in the keg. It works for me.

I have 8, and am ordering two more tomorrow. I never thought I'd "need" more than 2. I have room for 4 in my kegerator, and use the outside fridge for carbing and aging.

I have 15 functional and 11 have something in them. Like others have said, get a pipeline going and get stuff aging that enjoys aging.

12 working ball lock. 6 full at the moment. can store all 12 cold, but only four taps. about 12 more fix-r-upers that i should probably sell.

I have 5, but only 1 are in working order.

I also started out with two. Couldn't perceive needing more. Currently I have a total of seven. Four serving , two conditioning (on gas), and 1 lagering. I can fit all seven in the kegerator, so I need about three more for turnaround, warm conditioning, aging purposes. And I still bottle about every fifth batch.

I've been doing 12 gallon batches, bottling 1ish gallon and kegging 10. Let's me have beer when I let my pipeline dry out.

So far 2 kegs, but I'm buying 2 more.

I have 11. 8 true ball locks, 3 pin locks that have been converted (though in hindsight, I didn't need to do that). I can serve 3 at a time, as long as one is one of the pinlocks. I can carb and condition another 5 in the chest freezer. I tend to bottle high ABV stuff, as it sits way too long on tap. Beers on tap are generally 1.070 and less. Helps with the turnover. And one tap is pretty much dedicated to being our house pale.

Just scored four more, for a total of 11. Beauty is, I got em for $25 each--ball locks from a man getting out of the hobbsession!
