How many kegs will I need?
Top 4 factors when considering the number of kegs required:
- The number of guests expected - this is a pretty obvious determinant, but are you expecting a very definite number or have you left the invites open ended.
- The drinking habits of your guests. Are they big beer guzzlers, or are a lot of them likely to be drinking wine or soft drinks?
- Is it a BYOB (bring your own booze) party. You might be doing the decent thing of having a keg for those who forgot to bring their own.
Or, are you providing all beverages for the duration the night? - The start and planned end time of the party. If you plan to go all night you will require a lot more beer than if you are just having a pre-pub bash or drinks party.
Should I get a spare keg? Is there a sale/returns policy?
We advise our customers to always plan for the best.
A second or third Standby-Keg can be provided at a charge of €30 per untapped returned keg. If these kegs are tapped, the balance amount is due.
I am not happy with the quality of the kegged product I bought. Do you take back kegs?
We are happy to broker this return on your behalf to the brewery responsible.
Step 1. Bring the keg back to our depot.
Step 2. We will look up the sale on our system
Step 3. We will determine if the returned keg is from a sale less than 14 days* previous. *Older keg returns will be handled on case by case basis.
Step 4: We weigh the keg to determine the contents.
- If less than 5L (5l / .568ml = 8.8 pints) has been used, we credit you the FULL cost of the keg.
- If more than 5L is gone, we credit you pro-rata for the contents.
Step 5. Agreed amount is refunded against the original sale.
Note: Card Refunds can take 5-7 working days. This is outside our control.
Here's an example keg return:
A customer brings us a 30L keg with an original price of 150e.
After 9L (9l / .568ml = 8.8 pints), they decide the product is not right.
They bring it back to us, we find there is 21L left in the keg.
30L = 150e
1L = 5e
21l x 5e = 105e is the amount that is refunded.
What does ABV mean?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume
"Alcohol by volume (abbreviated as ABV, abv, or alc/vol) is a standard measure of how much alcohol (ethanol) is contained in a given volume of an alcoholic beverage (expressed as a volume percent).It is defined as the number of millilitres of pure ethanol present in 100 millilitres of solution at 20°C. The number of millilitres of pure ethanol is the mass of the ethanol divided by its density at 20°C, which is 0.78924 g/ml. The ABV standard is used worldwide. The International Organization of Legal Metrology has tables of density of water–ethanol mixtures at different concentrations and temperatures."
