    Update
    I purchased 90 kegs and went with twenty taps. 60 tall quarters and 30 half bbl Schaefer kegs. Worked out fine. I built a 12 X 20 cold room with three wracks. Half’s stood on the bottom shelf’s and floor in front of the 20 tap wall.


    cheers

    If you have a 2bbl system and 12 beers on tap you need a minimum of 48 kegs... you may want more than this depending on how many fermenters or brites you have and as kegs become empty you will free up another 4 to keg the next on deck beer.. This is a startup amount because after the initial opening you will of course not have a full 4 kegs of everything likely ever again. if you sell kegs of beer plan on losing that keg for around 3 months as thats the average turn around time im told before kegs are returned.

    It depends on your product mix. More different beer you have, more kegs you need.

    If you have only one beer, you need 3 kegs per tap (one tapped, one right behind and one dirty) plus kegs that are going to hold your inventory.

    I need to figure out how many kegs I need. 2bbl system. In house sales on
    Y. No distribution. Thinking I am going to put a bunch of taps in and keep say 12 beers on tap. Then maybe an additional 6 taps for Stout week, an event, or whatever.

    For 12 beers at 2bbl that's 48 half kegs. Right now I'm looking at building a cold room. And it keeps getting bigger. Thinking maybe half the volume should go in 5 gal kegs?

    Looking at a wrack to double up kegs. I'm now up to a 10x14' cold room

    What did you start with and what did you end up with as far as taps and kegs?

    Thx
    We have a 3bbl setup and 11 beer taps and started with 62 kegs which was enough.... But we have 3 brites for beers to sit until we free up kegs.. We have since bought 1/4 kegs and just this week a pallet of never used 1/6 kegs from the classifieds here. as a matter of fact we bought most of our kegs here used and some used locally.

    we have 2 walkins we made roughly 9x8 each and its tight. we do stack our kegs 2 high.
