How many cups of beer in a keg?
 

10-12 oz cups.

We are thinking of setting up keg beer and fresh popcorn for Cybernet attendees in the courtyard for a few hours each day and I am wondering how many cups of beeer to expect from a $500 keg.

Thanks, Mitch

what size is the keg?

1/2 or full


full keg you can get 120 beers 8 oz.

about 90 12oz if i remember right from my beer selling days.

Number of oz in the keg / 10-12 oz

Well a full keg is 16 gallons. Why does it cost $500? is it full of hard alchohol? lol

there's 128 OZ in a Gallon so

128 x 16 / 10 = 204.8 beers at 10oz

I guess it is the full size one. So a hundred beers for a $500 keg is $5 each. That blows.

Mitch

if its an import, chances are its gonna be a 13.2 gallon.

domestic cheapo beers are normally 15 gal

120-140 beers out of a budlight keg is doable. also, make sure the person setting it up knows what they are doing. too much air and you greatly reduce the amount of servings with pour losss and foam. 3 pumps on a hand pump, no more. ice beer a good hour + before you tap it. if using a jockey box no more than 12 PSI.

what kind of beer are you buying for 500$

i've never seen a keg over 240.00 and that was some good ass import beer.

Ehow.com shows this...

Decide how much beer you need. A pony (half) keg is 7.5 gallons and serves 27 people three 12-ounce servings each, and a fullsize keg is 15.5 gallons and serves 55 people three 12-oz. servings each.

So according to that we will get 165 12oz cups which works out to about $3.75 a beer not including the bartender prices.

How big is a $500 keg? I have thrown a few keg parties and never had one cost $500

We have to buy it through the hotel.

Mitch

that would explain the $500 cost i have picked up kegs of miller for under $100

You are paying way too much at $500 for a keg :2 cents:

oh, yeah, well that would do it

http://www.superiorliquor.com/kegs.asp this should help

damn robbers.

A keg should cost no more than $200 and you should get about 200 beers. Thats about the only thing I learned in college. We had a kegerator in our house with a running keg at all times.

i'd say just factor in your pour loss. hopefully the person pouring it knows what they are doing.

enough to catch a mean buzz..

I suggest you fix your sig before someone fixes it for you.

We did the corridor cruising a couple of years back and got a keg as well. It was a half keg and I was told I would get about 60 12 oz beers out of it.

(I only paid $400 then!!)

bud or bud light = $60 for a full keg.

Get several cases of bottles.


It would be cheaper and bottles are alot better then keg beer anyway

I bet the hotel charges even more for them.

bottles are about $6

Mitch

$500 for a fucking keg??? you can get 5 kegs of good beer for that amount.

two words: natty light

$80.

:)

Not nearly enough

$500 for a keg??? i hope it's full of Dom!

Hotel pricing is extremely expensive. When we buy booze and food through the hotels for any of the sponsored events that we do including the Porn Poker Tour, the booze bills are outrageous. So hopefully you guys have a good time.

Mitch

Full keg = 140-160 12oz cups.

At your price your looking around 3.33 per cup average.

I bet $500 is for shitty keg beer too.

wow hotel sure jacks the prices up.
I pay $85 for a full budlight keg here.

I've never payed over $75 for a keg of domestic (bud/miller/etc).

150 usually.

you should ask if you can return it if it never gets tapped, if you can, buy it, then go buy a normal priced keg, and return the hotel one after the event :winkwink:

Holy shit, just did a search on google, and it calculated it

240 cups, 240 x 5 = 1,200 so you'll pull a profit of 700... maybe not so bad after all.


** and yes I know it probably means cups as in the measuring unit, I am just being an ass.

Hey can you install this at home ? Will the beer be flat after a couple days ? couple of heavy drinker friends

Buy 1 of their overpriced kegs and grease the guy running it to let you bring you own kegs

lol, can't believe I read all of that.

Only one cup if you are an Irishman
