I use a party tap. For serving away from home I use a mini reg and 16gm co2 bulbs, 1 bulb is enough to empty 8ltrs of Lager. If at home I just hook up my Co2 cylinder but have also used a Sodastream bottle.
What's everyone using for beer storage ?

I selected keg but I very occasionally do bottling, I find it too much of a faff to do it regularly.
They (3) were bought from Brewkeg Tap on the black Fri deal,around £29 each. They're not much more now,maybe £31. I got enough to get free delivery.
Depends on what I'm doing.
If I'm doing something that needs a little longer to improve, like the Belgian Witbier, bottles.
WIth a NEIPA? Keg every time.
In fairness, I now have about 10 corny kegs. But not the fridge space. But I can store in them.

Yup, did the same thing. That was a cracking deal.
Are Brewkeg Tap in Ellesmere Port?
Nope they are down in Cornwall
Mainly 14 23L Corny keg copies. Been my mainstay for 9 years. Also 20 x Ecofass 30L BIK not so keen on them with the single use bag inside. The only use I've found for them is cutting them up to make plant cloches,,,
I use corny kegs, I do have a couple of four litre oxy bars to take the surplus.
I sometimes do a few bottles with various counter pressure devices.
Sometimes a mate calls round with an empty two pint plastic milk bottle for a takeaway.

On of the things that I wish I'd been told years ago about botling is to buy plastic beer crates. I now have 8 of them.
So much easier than fighting with cardboard boxes all the time. Stack nicely and easily. Hose them down when the get dirty etc. etc. Not expensive either.

I'm still kicking myself.
About 5 years ago, having spent some time collecting them, I gave away 6 crates full of Grolsch bottles.
