I remember my first time serving at a large beer festival, the 2014 Little Rocktoberfest held at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, AR. I was filled with both excitement and extreme anxiety, because of my lack of experience. It was also my first time with kegging equipment. Thus, the purpose of this lesson is to offer a pictorial overview of various homebrew setups for serving to the masses. What I share in this lesson is not all-inclusive. While the basic setups are pretty standard, the differences seen among homebrewers serving their beers to the masses depends largely on their resources, transport methods, presentation, etc. 

Below are the following example setups that may be of interest to you:

​

• Bottled Beer Setup

• Co2 Reguator Setup for Pre-Chilled Corny Keg

• Co2 Regulator Setup for Pre-Chilled Corny Keg 2

• Co2 Cartridge Setup for Pre-Chilled Corny Keg

• Jockey Box Setup for Corny Keg (warm or chilled)

• Façade Jockey Box Setup for Corny Keg (warm or chilled)*

​

*  A façade box can be used with any of the above setups. Generally, the façade box is used to hide the bulky jockey box and its beer lines, but it can also be used to create a pro-style presentation and create a work space that hides tools, messy spills, water pitcher, your own beer cups, etc.
