Time to buy more kegs?

As I mentioned in my last post, I have run out of keg space. It might be time to buy more kegs, especially since I have to transfer my "You Sank My Coconut!" Porter to another keg next week, and there is no way I'll have a free keg. Plus I have a number of beers in either in primary or secondary that will need to be kegged at some point soon. Here's the rundown of my current beer situation.

IN CORNY KEGS

5 gallon: Obfuscator Doppelbock. Status: lagering. Ready to drink: Early June
5 gallon: Dark Unamed Lager. Status: lagering. Ready to drink: Mid June
5 gallon: "You Sank My Coconut!" Porter. Status: Dry coconutting. Ready to drink: next week
2.5 gallon: Pseudo-Alpha King Clone. Status: Dry hopping. Ready to drink: next week

IN PRIMARY (in 6 gallon glass carboys)

Belgian Tripel ~5 gallons Ready to secondary: Now
Pils ~9 gallons Ready to secondary: Now

IN SECONDARY (in 5 gallon glass carboys)

Pseudo-Alpha King Clone. Status: Dry hopping. Ready to keg/bottle: next week.


Too much beer? It's a good problem to have.

  1. That Alpha King clone sounds pretty tasty.

    Where you come up with the idea for dry coconutting a porter? Sounds pretty cool.

  2. HolzBrew, I got the idea to brew a coconut porter on my own after eating an "Almond in the Coconut" candy from Trader Joe's. I got the specifics on how to do it from the intertubes, specifically after googling and finding this:
