    Default # of Guinness Kegs with 5 lb tank

    I have read previous threads and have not come up with a solid answer to this question:

    With no leaks in the system, how many 1/2 barrel kegs of Guinness will be dispensed with a 5lb tank of beer gas (75% Nitro/25% Co2) at 30-35 PSIG?

    I have three kegs of Guinness ordered for St. Patrick's day and I want to make sure that I have enough gas to dispense them all properly.

    Before anyone ask, I have all the proper equipment and have been running Guinness through my system perfectly for over a year. The problem is I have never run multiple kegs back-to-back-to-back in one day before.

    Thanks for the help, and happy drinking.

    Guinness Question
    ____________________________________________
    Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
    Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
    and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
    be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
    "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
    be selfish and worry about my liver."

    Thanks Cubby, but what does 22 cubic feet translate to in terms of tank size? The tank of beer gas I have right now is the same size as my 5lb Co2 tank. Does 22 cubic feet of beer gas fit into a tank the same size as a 5lb Co2 tank?

    If yes, then according to the other post I should be able to dispense 4 kegs with the tank I have.

    Thanks for the help.
