I just placed an order for 5 more since AIH has loose handle kegs on sale. I think that brings my keg fleet up to 21 kegs. Now that I brew 10 gallon batches I need more kegs. Also, I rarely drink my high grav batches, so those end up staying in kegs for years at a time.

How many kegs do you have and what do you do with them?

Holy crap. I have 8. I usually have about 5 of them full as I don't really brew big things that can stand aging.

4 5gal and 2 3gal that i started with.  the 3 gal have yet to be used, actually.  

ive been thinking about ordering some more for beers that take a bit of age, but i havent gotten to it.  Still need to buy a manifold so i can use more than 2 at a time, anyways.

I live dangerously. My kegs get both clean and sour beers. No pedio.

Jebus! I have 10 kegs, 1 is dedicated to BLC (which I rarely use), I have 7 taps, so 2 are floaters. I don't save anything in kegs.

Speaking of AIH.

What do you guys think is a fair price for a 5000ml flask?  40 seems a bit steep to me for some reason.  I still have one in my cart over there....

For me, shipping per keg was cheapest at qty 5, which is why I ordered 5.

Marshall, you go through beer a lot faster than I do. I wish I could get rid of it as fast as you can. I could brew more.

If I bottled my aging stocks I could free up at least 6 kegs, but eff that. I'd rather buy more kegs :D

> I wish I could get rid of it as fast as you can

Seeeeeee?  I dont have a drinking problem, i have a drinking solution!

Ive actually cut back a bit again.  This keg of amber is taking fucking forever to kick.  Also, the taste has gone to shit the last few days i swear.  I dont know how to describe it, even.  I almost wondered if it was cardboard like, but i cant figure out how the hell O2 would have gotten into it...  Im thinking i just really fucked up my grain bill trying to get the color, and theres little hop flavor there to cover it up.  

I dunno, my tooth has been giving me issues again.  i wonder if my sense of taste is off because of it.  Ive had a couple of commercial beers though, and they didnt seem bad?

I have exactly 18 more kegs than my wife thinks I should have. I have about 4 fewer kegs than I think I should have.
