If I do any stronger beers, I think I'd rather just get more carboys and let em sit.

There seems to be an advantage because you end up with a more consistent beer.

Or so I've heard.

How many kegs do you have?

And what's your setup?

There's a thing they sell at Costco that has room for two kegs and it comes premade with two taps on top ~$500.

The buckets to me just seemed sketchy, I've worked with a lot of chemicals and the plastic buckets retain some smells.

Also, I've got plenty of room, I may eventually set up some pro stuffs in my garage.


One advantage to letting it sit is you dont risk contamination and you dont incorporate oxygen. I usually will transfer to a spare keg for long term just because then i do not tie up my carboy/buckets and i have an extra keg for that.

I have 4 kegs, can fit 3 in a chest freezer i bought. Have a temperature regulator on it and built a collar keezer with 3 perlick 630SS faucets

I dont mind the buckets, they just are easier for me to work with. You can always replace them after several batches if you wish. Also, i prefer that my bucket is ~ 6.5 gallons which leaves plenty of headspace. Hate that my carboy is only ~ 5.5

That looks pretty awesome.

Gonna have to really think about what exactly I'm gonna need though.
