I have been asked by my sister to supply home brew for her upcoming wedding. I'm sure that there are other people out there who have been asked to do the same thing so I'm looking for a little advice.
A few questions I have so far
How much should I make? The expected guest list is 100-120 and I'm sure not all of them will drink beer.
I have just started kegging, 2 batches in, so I have a basic system with 5lb CO2 tank and 6 kegs with 4 party faucets. They don't have any dispensing equipment at the venue so should I just bring the tank and lines and chill the kegs in buckets of ice?
Should I make several different styles or stick to several batches of 1 or 2 recipes.
I have about 8 months to come up with some good recipes, a Pilsner and a Wheat have been requested but I was also considering maybe an IPA and a Pale Ale. Any thoughts on beers to please the masses?
Any other thoughts from people who have done this are appreciated.
Cheers
