What's everyone using for beer storage ?

[Rwilts]

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.

Beer in kegs.. bottles are for wine

 

[MashBag]

I have to ever run a 144 bottle pattern. Just trying corny kegs.

Kegs where for wine. Seriously.

 

[conorm]

I bottle portion of each batch for a select handful of mates but everything I drink is from kegs. I'm up to 6 now! Mostly to account for long conditioning times.

 

[Bitter_Dave]

I use Cooper's pet bottles, which are perfect for my needs these days.

 

[Buffers brewery]

I ticked keg but I use pressure barrels.

 

[6Trails]

I keg everything and then will bottle off with the Boel as needed to free up space or swap them. Haven't bottle carbonated in years.

 

[obscure]

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).

 

[Sprocker]

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

British Bitters in 3 19L Corny Kegs, everything else in 500ml 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

I built my own crates couple of years ago out of spare wood which are stacked in garage and have a selection of what I am drinking in a drinks fridge in garage.

I bottle for the drinks I give away and keg for own consumption.
I decided to reduce the amount of alcohol I consume, so I no longer brew as much as before. I have 4 metal kegs and never used one, plus 2 plastic 8 litre from Legland and did not use one either. Have several glass bottles like Grolsch that I give to people I know I will get back and Pepsi-Coka plastic bottles to give away with less chance of getting back

Did you buy it from Malt Miller? Did they charge a delivery fee, if so how much.

 

[Mash Monster]

I use kegs but if the ABV is over 7% I always bottle

 

[Graz]

Kegs but I brew kits which are often 5 gallons / 23L so the difference between a 19L corny and the kit volume goes into bottles. That said I'm seriously considering getting some of the 4L Oxbar kegs to alleviate this.

 

[Druss]

160 x 500ml bottles, most of which are usually filled.

5 x 5 litre kegs, sometimes for beer but usually cider or whichever random weird melomel I've recently made.

6 x 10 litre pressure barrels, still experimenting with 'casking' in them.

2 x 25 litre pressure barrels, at the moment one is full of my light ale (experimental again, trying double dropping with that one) and the other is full of mead.

 

[ale_crowe_holic]

I bottle but have been looking at those oxybars.
Do you just need gas in and a party line to pour it from (if going basic with it?)

I need to check dimensions of my fridge I think as it's only small.
