How much brew do you keep on hand at any given time?

At least 60 gallons right now. I will add 10-20 more this week.

Just not sure if I'd look at it as a "complication" of your current setup/methods.

I guess the process itself isn't any more complicated. The added complication, to me, comes from building the kegerator or keezer and getting the rig going. I can definitely see the appeal in having a kegged system once it's up and running. Space is also a little bit of a consideration at the moment. Maybe once I finish med school I can afford a house with ample space for my hobbies.

I haven't built anything yet... my chest freezer was $150 brand new and will hold two kegs unmodified. I do want to add a collar and faucets soon, but it's not keeping me from drinking my brew!

Space is a valid concern though, especially if you're in an apartment I guess. I'm pretty sure there are minifridges that will accomodate 1-2 kegs without modification. You could just use picnic taps until you felt like adding a tower to it...

Well

My brewing closet has something like 9 cases of 4 different batches in various stages of bottle conditioning, and 10 gallons worth of ingredients waiting to be brewed

My fermenterator has 10 gallons of brew

Plus I've got a ****load of commercial beer in the kitchen/fridge

I have about 300 750ml (25oz) bottles in my garage. That said, I only have about 193 of them full at the moment. So I have 145l (38gal). It all varies in age from more than a year to less than two weeks in the bottle. I put half of each batch in glass, half in plastic, drink the plastic ones from 1 month and the glass ones whenever I run out of beer in plastic bottles. I haven't been drinking that much recently though. I get a bit neurotic about saving the ones in glass!
