So that must be about a 25 gallon keg then? How big is it? I know of people in the area who grow hops they are amazingly great growers in this region from what I have seen.

1/2 bbl to my knowledge is 15.5 gallons, or 1984oz, or 165.3-12oz beers, or 6.89 cases of beer.

Lots and lots of hops comes from up in your area, I suppose.

I believe that would last me a good long while! I have only brewed a 5 gallon batch, but Im sure its doable... I could probably brew right in a keg like that. It is not an area that is known for hops, we don't have any production farms on this side of the mountains, but i know some who do grow them near their house and it is amazing how tall they get and how hardy they grow. I know some people who have gone on the other side of the mountains to haul hops for a few weeks during harvest time.

There's some good home brew threads (or at least 1) on this forum. Wild pops in now and then, I think he's pretty serious about brewing.
