How big is a keg of beer (in inches)?
• They can vary a little. Standard straight walled Sankey kegs are generally between 15″ to 17″ in diameter and 23″ to 25″ high. You will need approximately 28″ in height to make this work in a converted refrigerator beer system. Local and micro brewers and regional brewers may use different cooperage. Please consult your beer provider for further details. • Half kegs contain 16 gallons of beer; Quarter kegs (pony kegs) contain 8 gallons of beer. • Micro brewers and home brewers will often use 5 gallon bulk tanks (often called Cornelius tanks) that measure 8-1/2″ in diameter and 25-1/4″ tall.
