How many employees do i need?

In the 16+ states I've worked in it has been my experience that an account will sell at least one half keg every 2 weeks. If they can't sell a keg every other week AT LEAST, then they aren't worth having. A good rule of thumb is two barrels per month. Therefore one could expect 500 taps to produce a minimum of 12,000 barrels per year.

And you think a brand new start up is going to be so picky? Really?

This is also assuming dedicated handles. Which, as we all know, are harder and harder to come by. (At least 'round these parts! Those of you with less than 200 domestic breweries and who knows how many out-of-state breweries in your states may have it easier...for the time being.)

So 500 rotating handles isn't that unreasonable.
