I racked two kegs today, what is the most anyone has done in one day? i racked my NB pale ale, and Rye Pale Ale. They were both great looking. I need to make some more that is for sure.Nothing like homebrewing, wouldn't give it up for much of anything.

I racked two kegs yesterday before breakfast :sarcasm: Actually, two is the most I've ever done in a day, but I still only have 3 kegs. Congrats on those beers turning out - sounds like you have a couple winners there.

I racked four beers in a day. This past summer when my buddy got married and I served my beer I had to get them ready and ended up transferring and then carbing up 4 kegs in a day. I will be transferring 10 gallons of Bo Pilsner into kegs to lager tomorrow night. I should hopefully kill a few kegs by this weekend and finally transfer a few more as well. I currently have 9 kegs but as they say you can never have too many kegs for sure. I agree this obsession/hobby is awesome. I am addicted :sarcasm: :facepalm:

I've kegged a beer and moved a beer to secondary in one day but that's the most I've done.

My record is wine not beer. 55 gallons in one day and it sucked because I only had 2 clean carboys. I had to rack the first, rack the 2nd, and while the 2nd was transferring I cleaned the first so I could put it in the rotation for the 3rd, and so fourth. It took a while and my back hurt the next day but I had to get them all off the gross lees.

4 or 5. I frequently do 4 or 5 so I can just do it all at once and get the non fun steps out of the way

4 at the most, Often same yeast. Two carboys in secondary and a conical full that is about two weeks old is the typical scenario. Of course, laziness is usually the driving factor,
