Prompted by several recent posts I thought it would be interesting to see what the split is across Kegs and bottles.. I use both but mostly bottles (currently have 200+ bottles waiting to be drunk)
 
I've done extensive bottling which got too much to face any more! I've tried the plastic PBs which were either dreadful or just ok. I've now moved to the Oxebar 20l kegs which are a breath of fresh air! I've ditched nearly 200 bottles,still got a few to go. I'm keeping a couple of crates incase I brew anything like an imperial stout.
 
I mostly keg but I do tend to bottle higher strength beers, or ones that need extensive conditioning (which tends to go hand in hand with higher ABV).
 
Used to keg everything but changed to bottling now with the occasional 4 litre Oxebar. I only ever had room for 2 kegs on tap and 2 kegs conditioning, but wanted more choice of beers. Now I bottle I have 6 different beer styles to choose from at anytime.
 
I used to have to bottle, but then I got a corney set up, another corney, a 20ltr oxebar a couple of 4ltrs and those Tbar carbonation cap for fitting on pop bottles, so now it Depends on batch size,

Large batch goes in corney+some bottles

Small batch goes either in 4ltr oxebar, 2ltr pop bottles with Tbar and or bottles

I also have around 200 bottles. May I ask how you store them? I am still sorting out shelving in my garage so looking for a good system.
I did buy a dolly trolly and stack plastic boxes on it. Makes it easy to move around the garage.
Thanks
