Right I have 4 King kegs and 3 youngs and about 50 flip top bottles the youngs kegs all have broken lids so I only use my King kegs and bottles
My question is how many kegs do all you guys have and is it ever enough
 
You can never have enough of anything...
First Law of Home Brewing..
Second Law...How Much do You earn??
 
100x 500ml bottles, unknown amount of wine bottles - but enough, 20 or so swing tops and did have 7 mini kegs but I chucked two away yesterday after I couldn't get rid of the dodgy smell they had.

In fact I'm gonna get them out the reycling cut the tops of and use them for my meat smoker, it's only just come to me.
 
I have about 100 bottles and a mini keg. I'm supposed to be buying 7 mini kegs off one of the Scottish contingent off here, but we've to arrange collection one weekend he's at his parents as it's much easier for me to get to.
 
1 pressurised barrel
About 250 bottles, of varying capacities...from 330ml to 1 litre.
 
I have one King Keg and more bottles than I can use.

The limiting factor in my brewing is my small brew fridge, which is only big enough for one fermenting bucket. Discarded fridges are a bit hard to come by.
 
2 x corny kegs, 5 x mini kegs and 40 x500ml plastic bottles. All will increase when I get around to my brewhouse (shed)
 
3 cornies and it seems too much, 2 sitting empty right now... I hardly ever reach a point when they are all near full, but I do try, very very hard :drink:. A few bottles for cornie surplus, and that's it. Wanted to keep it simple.

Come to my area, at least 5 to be had in my area alone every day! There like a plague since scrap men won't take them.
 
About 600 500ml bottles and 2 pressure kegs that I picked up second hand and have never had the guts to use. So many 'leaky pressure keg' threads I've not wanted to lose an entire brew trying them out.

Send them kegs my way :lol:
 
I've got about 130 brown 500ml bottles, about 30 brown 330ml, and 30 or so clear / green bottles of various sizes, plus 30 wine bottles. I also have 40 new and unused plastic PET bottles which came with some stuff I got from ebay, and a new 2L growler. I also have 9 660ml Fischer swing-tops and about 70-odd 450ml vintage Grolsch bottles from the 80s, which were given to me for free recently and which I've washed, but I'm waiting for my next HBC order to get new washers for them. I really like the look of the old swing-tops and can't wait to use them:

3 corny's
~150 500ml bottles
~40 500ml swingtops
~40 330ml bottles
~10 1l swingtops (Aldi do lemonade in them)

Assorted wine/champagne bottles.

Not all full at the moment, probably 60-80 full bottles in the store.

Probably too much. I do tend to give a lot of beer away, and don't ask for the bottles back except the swingtops because it then becomes effort checking to see if people have rinsed the yeast out properly or if they're moldy. The people who do save bottles regardless tend to be the ones who rinse them anyway and save their shop bought ones too so I'm kept stocked up.
 
I like my two pb's but my problem is temperature. They're in the shed so warm in summer. So I fill them in Autumn and drink over winter but it takes me so long to drink them there's no point filling them up again as I'll just have warm beer.

I've got about 200+ bottles though which is more than enough for me
 
3 cornies that I haven't used yet
1 pressure barrel I haven't used for ages
About 130 550ml bottles but that's because I gave about 100 away on Sunday.
About 50-60 wine bottles.
Oh and about 20 swing tops.
