| We are building a bar in our shed. We want taps, kegs etc. Has anyone done this before? What kinda gear do you need for a working tap etc. Where can one buy kegs? Bit clueless when it comes to it but would love to do it properly. |

Just put in a bar but no kegs / unless you are turning over a high volume (raging alcoholics) the kegs will be sat there only used for the craic and the taste will be horrible. Also you will need refrigeration for the kegs . Better off with a bottle bar . Under counter glass door fridges filled with your favourite tippple And pour it into a Glass |

| Yeah we thought about that but we are having a few big parties next year in the house and want proper kegs and taps etc. Any idea where you can buy all the stuff for it? |

I think you can hire most of that stuff from "prop me up". |

Just rent the gear for the parties ? We used to do that all the time. Most good pubs with off licences will rent you the taps and coolers and you buy a keg or two. They'll even come and install it in your gaff and pick it up the next day. One place in Galway even asked us if we wanted our own barman for the night ! It's not a bad idea as there is a lot of waste if you get lads that can't pull a pint and especially when everyone is bananas. ------------- Stupid like a fox |

Never actually knew you could rent them tbh. Thanks for that. Still would like to buy our own though I think.

A brilliant show in its own right, but it spawned an even better one. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

Just rent the stuff, don't install one. Far too much cleaning and maintenance needed to install one.

What are you calling your bar ??? Reckon it needs a name. Would advise you to start considering door staff now - A lot of riff-raff on here !

| Sasa Bowsie has her heart on installing one despite it laying idle for most of the year. Trust most people on here Bowsie and rent one for the 4 or 5 parties you'll have unless your a raging alcoholic and need to pull your own pint on a random Tuesday afternoon |

Sasa 'SGB' Bowsie's bar will be called 'The Green Green Painted Grass of Home' |

A 2 tap beer cooler will cost you between 50 and 150.You'll still need the gas but easy to get.beer tap will set you back between 20 and 50 depending on what type your after.Kegs can be got at cash and carry.Decide on a brand and stick to it as the tapping heads are different from keg to cooler.Everything you need can be got on adverts.ie

| Does it have to be cleaned often. Say if you had a party and there was some left in the keg, how long would it last? Are they hard systems to clean? |

Every 2-3 Weeks you should clean it. Below you'll find how to do it. https://beerandbrewing.com/keep-your-draft-lines-clean/" rel="nofollow - https://beerandbrewing.com/keep-your-draft-lines-clean/ A keg if stored correctly should last about 2-3 months |
