I've got none...as much as I hate bottling I don't fancy the idea of using a keg and don't have the space/money for a Corny.
How many kegs

1 x King Keg
3 x Easy Kegs
60 x 650ml Fischer swing-top bottles
45 x 500ml capped bottles
20 x 250ml capped bottles
I am trying to standardise my bottles and also move some storage to Easy Kegs or Mini Kegs. As a result I intend to dump a variety of capped bottles ranging from 250ml to 650ml because:
1. I was getting fed up of needing to adjust the height of the bench capper to cope with the different sized bottles.
2. Some of the bottles won't fit on the shelves I have built. (Some too high and others too broad!)
BTW To make sterilisation more certain on the flip-top bottles I remove the original flip-tops which have a fixed seal and replace it with one that has a removable seal. This is on the basis of dire warnings from somewhere that sterilising flip-tops is difficult because there is a chance that the fixed seal lifts away from the top. Probably OTT because the Fischer ones all look sound to me!

Ive got 26 crates full of bottles for beer, some wine bottles, 2 kegs and 3 corny's (awaiting imminent use).

3 youngs pressure barrels, normally have 2 in regular use, about 150 pet bottles for brewferm brews and 40 odd glass bottles I've saved for some reason.
I've got 4 Cornies and an undercounter fridge that just about fits two in.
I've never managed to have all four filled at once, due to poor planning though. I also still haven't got around to putting holes in the side of the fridge for the beer lines yet...
( I bought them when they were ã35 refurbished )
