Can you ever have too much beer? The answer is yes. Determining how much beer you need, however, is a pretty simple process. I typically tell people to go by this simple formula, which so far has done me well. The one beer per person per hour formula will ensure you have a reasonable amount of beer to keep everyone lubricated without having a massive amount leftover when everyone heads home.
For those type events, I typically suggest people buy enough that each person can have one beer for every two hours of the event. Know your crowd though. One of the worst things you can do is dramatically overbuy beer in keg form. It's 7. This tall, slender keg holds the exact same amount as its stubbier relative, the Quarter Barrel Keg.
The grandaddy of them all, the Of course, this is also the keg that most bars and restaurants use, and it will also fit any standard-sized kegerator. This is the most common keg size in European countries, including the UK. Keep in mind that import kegs do not use a standard US Sankey D coupler. Check our keg coupler guide or ask your supplier to make sure you have the right coupler for your keg. There are two types of connectors that are available for the Cornelius keg, including ball-lock and pin-lock.
Both have different connectors that you would need to become familiar with. Commonly used for personal use in dual or triple-tap kegerators, the sixth barrel is roughly the same size as the Corny Keg, just slightly larger. This smaller sized keg functions just like their larger counterparts with the only difference being that it holds less beer than other types of kegs.
The Slim Quarter holds the exact same amount of beer as the aforementioned Quarter barrel, however, the over shape and size resembles the sixth barrel keg. This variation in size makes it a popular choice for anyone with a dual-tap kegerator.
With a tall and skinny build, the Slim Quarter is the same height as the Sixth barrel, but has a slightly larger width. This extra width allows it to hold an extra two gallons, which equals an extra When you think of your average beer keg, the Half barrel size is probably what comes into your mind.
This full size keg is the largest that is available to you, and what is commonly used in bars and restaurants across the world.
Most home kegerators will fit this size keg, however, the smaller versions are typically more popular amongst craft beer drinkers. This is a common question that everyone has after buying a kegerator. Plagued by a chronic case of curiosity, Jeff Flowers is just a dude that annoys everyone around him with his loquacious goofiness. From beer to home living, Jeff is just trying to hack his way through life and write a few notes about it along the way.

Jeff, I just purchased quick connect so I can switch readily between cornies and conventional halves and quarters. Are their shorter quick connects that may solve my problem? Sorry for the late response. If you have not already found a solution to your issue, we will be carrying a 90 degree elbow that you can connect to the top of the commercial coupler that should give you the necessary clearance to attach the quick connect at a 90 degree angle.
Please check back on our site in the couplers section soon. Thanks for this list of different sized kegs. Very handy. I always thought that there was only one size. The full barrell. Can you direct me? All the liquor stores in my area no longer supply any kegs. Without knowing the brand and model of the kegerator, I would think a slim quarter keg may be possible if the dimensions match up. I recent bought a 6 ft. Any suggestions? Some are and some are not.
Heineken and New Castle have a self- contained pressure source, which makes them not reusable without some major modification. Many European imports use external pressure sources or no pressure to push beer. These kegs can be reused.
This type can be purchased from a number of on-line brewing suppliers. We have a small fridge that could convert into a kegerator but we dont have the necessary equipment which leads to my question, if we decided to go with a quarter or half barrell is it possible to use a disposable smaller sized co2 like the approx.
I spoke with the distributor and several package stores and the prices I was quoted for co2 tanks and conversion kits from recommended local retailers were such that I would find better value in purchasing a brand new kegerator which is why I would be thrilled if this other idea could work.
