Twenty 19L
Two 11L
Four 11L

My Name is Aleman and I have a problem :oops:

In my defence, I have sold a 19L recently, and will be selling another 19 shortly (*) . . . So that will leave me only nineteen 19L :cry:

(*) It's like parting with the children :o

Aleman, that's unreal! Honestly, have you ever had the 20 x 19L kegs all full at the same time?

I have 5x 19L kegs and 1x baby keg. I could use one or two more biggies though.
A 38L keg would be great for lagering in..

I've got 2 S/S firkins and 4 S/S pins, with a handful of spiles and a race ventilator instead though :D

4 x 19L

The mrs recently asked me why hadn't bothered to get More yet as one has her cider in and she fancies one for sparkling wine over he summer, so that would only leave two for beer and that's not enough!

Awesome! :D

:oops: No

The plan was to have 6 in the Kegereezer with beer ready to drink, 6 in 'store' maturing, and 6 empty but clean ready to fill when one was empty , but it never really happened like that . . . Despite my best efforts :)

In fact some of them have not even had the syrup cleaned out of them since I got them :oops:

I picked the 19L ones up between '95 and '98 I think for between £5 and £7.50 each. Three of the 9L ones I bought at the going rate of 30 quid, but the two 11s and the last 9 I got (along with a beer engine and other assorted brewing stuff) this year for the princely sum of 50 quid.

I think I really do have to rationalise my collection though . . . What would probably be a smart move would be to get 8 or 10 all with the same fittings . . . and then make sure they are all leak free before parting with the rest of the odds and sods :cry:

Never, ever let her go Leedsbrew! A missus who suggest buying more brewing kit should be held in the highest esteem!

I have none by the way!
If I had all the money I'd spent on brewing... I'd spend it on brewing!
