Alcohol Calculator EVENT ALCOHOL CALCULATOR STEP 1: Calculate the total number of alcoholic drinks for the whole night. You can expect approximately 1 drink to be consumed per guest per hour the bar is open. [ Number of guests x number of hours bar will be open = total drinks ] Example: There will be 200 guests in attendance at the event and the bar will be open for 6 hours 200 guests x 6 hours = 1,200 drinks STEP 2: Calculate the total number of liquor, beer and wine drinks. Below is a breakdown of consumption if liquor is available. 40% liquor 30% wine 30% beer OR 50% wine 50% beer [ Total number of drinks x percentage of use = specific alcohol total ] Example: 1,200 drinks x .40 = 480 liquor drinks 1,200 drinks x .30 = 360 glasses of wine 1,200 drinks x .30 = 360 glasses of beer 1 STEP 3: Calculate the total oz for liquor, beer and wine drinks. Below is a breakdown of the average pour sizes for each alcoholic drink. Before you calculate confirm the size of the glassware you are renting or cups you are purchasing. It is recommended to use smaller cups because it will cut down on waste (i.e. 5 oz cup for wine vs. 12 oz cup) Liquor = 1.5 oz (plus mixer) Wine = 5 oz Beer = 12 oz Champagne = 4 oz for toasting size - 6 oz for standard glass [ Specific alcohol total x pour size = number of oz of alcohol ] Example: 480 liquor drinks x 1.5 oz = 720 oz of liquor 360 wine glasses x 5 oz = 1,800 oz of wine 360 glasses of beer x 12 oz = 4,320 oz of beer STEP 4: Make your alcohol shopping list. Now that we know the total ounces of alcohol we need we can make a list of what to shop for. LIQUOR Common liquors to carry at a wedding are vodka, gin, whiskey and rum. Other options are tequila, bourbon, scotch. Vodka is by far the most popular to I would recommend purchasing more vodka than anything else. 1 gallon = 128 oz 1 liter = 33.8 oz ⅕ gallon = 25 oz 1 liter = 33.8 oz 1 milliliter = .0338 oz [ Total oz of liquor needed / total oz per bottle = how many bottles are needed ] Example: For this example below we will only be using vodka, gin, whiskey and rum. We will also being use ⅕ gallons. 720 oz of liquor / 25 oz bottle = 28.8 bottles (we will round up to 30) 30 bottles / 4 liquor options = 7.5 bottles of each liquor. 2 Since we are only using 4 liquors and vodka is the most popular I am going to adjust the numbers slightly. I am going to purchase the below amounts ⅕ gallons: 9 bottles of vodka 7 bottles of gin 7 bottles of whiskey 7 bottles of rum I technically have more alcohol on that list then my calculations come out to but we would rather overestimate than under. If you are planning to purchase any vermouth, schnapps or other specialty mixers there is not a formula for this but I would recommend 2-3 bottles of each and returning what you don’t use. WINE Commonly at weddings there is 1 red option and 1-2 white options (1 dry and 1 sweet) 1 half wine bottle (375 ml) = 12.7 oz 1 standard wine bottle (750 ml) = 25.4 oz 1 large wine bottle (1.5 l) = 50.7 oz [ Total oz of wine needed / total oz per bottle = how many bottles are needed ] Example: For this example below we will be using 1 red, 1 sweet white and 1 dry white. We will also being using standard wine bottles (25.4 oz). 1,800 oz of wine / 25.4 oz bottle = 70.8 bottles (we will round up to 71) 71 bottles / 3 wine options = 23.7 bottles of each wine (we will round up to 24). 750 ml bottles: 24 bottles of red (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Malbec) 24 bottles of sweet white (Riesling, Moscato) 24 bottles of dry white (Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc) I technically have more alcohol on that list then my calculations come out to but we would rather overestimate than under. 3 If you are trying to estimate a champagne toast, the standard pour of a toast is 4 oz. So use the calculation below. [ Number of guests x 4 oz (or whatever pour size you want) = total oz of champagne ] Example: 200 guests x 4 oz = 800 oz of champagne. Champagne bottles vary in size, but for this example we are using a 750 ml bottle (25.4 oz) [ Total oz needed / bottle size in oz = number of bottles needed ] Example: 800 oz / 25.4 oz = 31.5 oz (we will round up to 32) 32 bottles will be needed for the champagne toast. BEER It is standard to host 1 domestic and 1-2 craft beers at weddings. 1 standard beer can or bottle = 12 oz 1 quarter barrel keg (pony keg) = 996 oz 1 half barrel keg (full size keg) = 1,980 oz [ Total oz of beer needed / total oz per can, bottle or keg = how much is needed ] Example: For this example below we will be using 1 domestic and 1 craft beer. We will also being using half barrel kegs (aka full size kegs). 4,320 oz of beer/ 1,980 oz per keg = 2.2 kegs (we will round down to 2) If you’re worried that 2 full sized kegs won't be enough you can add on 1 pony keg or a few packs of cans or bottles so you don’t have to purchase another full size keg. Since we are only using 2 beer options I am going to get 1 keg of each. Half barrels/full size kegs: 1 keg of domestic (Bud Light, Budweiser, Miller Lite, Labatt) 1 keg of craft (wheat ale, IPA, stout) 4 STEP 5: Mixers, Garnishes, Cups & Extras Now that you have your alcohol shopping list, it's time to focus on getting all the extras. MIXERS Mixers can be tricky and dependent on how heavy of drinkers your guests are. If your guests are heavy liquor drinkers, then you will need more mixers. If your guests heavy wine and beer drinkers then you will need less mixers, or if your crowd aren't heavy drinkers at all then you will need more mixers and non-alcoholic options. The good news is mixers are generally inexpensive so it doesn’t hurt to overestimate on this one. Generally you can expect 1 (12 oz) can per guest or 1 liter (33.8 oz) per every 3 guests to be consumed throughout the whole event. Example: For this example below we will be using 12 oz cans with 4 different mixer options (sprite, coke, diet coke and tonic water). 200 guests x 1 (12 oz) can per guest = 200 cans 200 cans / 4 options = 50 cans per option Since the cans come in 12 and 24 packs, I am going to round up and do more than 50 cans per mixer because they are inexpensive. 12 pack of 12 oz cans: 5 packs of coke 5 packs of diet coke 5 packs of sprite 5 packs of tonic GARNISHES Garnishes are items like lemons, limes, oranges, cherries, salt, olives, etc. and are less popular than most people think. The good news is they are also mostly inexpensive so if you purchase more than you use it isn’t a huge loss. Below is a chart of how many oz of EACH garnish you could have sliced & prepared based on guest counts. 1-25 guests = 8 oz container 26-50 guests = 12 oz container 51-100 guests = 16 oz container 101-150 guests = 20 oz container 151-200 guests = 24 oz container 201-300 guests = 28 oz container 300+ guests = 32 oz container 5 CUPS For calculating how many cups you need just look at the total number of beverages you’re expecting to be served and that is your number. I recommend using 5 oz cups for wine and mixed drinks and 12 oz cups for beer. Make sure you save your receipt if you purchase plastic cups so you can return any unopened packages afterwards. If you’re renting real glassware then see if there is a place you can wash the glasses throughout the night and if there is staff to do so. If there is then you can rent about ½ or ⅓ the amount of the beverages being served Example: 1,200 beverages served x .30 = 360 glasses ICE Ice can be extremely tricky and depends on a lot of factors. For mixed drinks I would plan for 1 cup of ice per beverage. 5 lb bag of ice = about 10 cups 10 lb bag of ice = about 20 cups 20 lb bag of ice = 40 cups Example: 480 drinks = 480 cups 480 cups / 40 cups = 12 (20 lb) bags of ice You will need to ice down your wine bottles and beer so look at how many bins you have and the sizes and estimate accordingly. Ice is one of those items that is doesn’t hurt to add more on if you have the space to keep it cold. EXTRAS Extra items you may not want to forget is: Water (expect guests to consume 2 (16.9oz) bottles each) Wine keys (2-3) Bottle openers (2-3) Shot measuring tool (2-3) Beverage tubs to cool wine & beer Ice tubs Ice scoops Keg cooler(s) Keg tap(s) 6 Bar Bar back(s) (tables for the back of the bar to rest things on) & linens Cutting board & knife if you didn’t already pre slice the garnishes Straws Cocktail napkins Small towels to clean up messes (they WILL happen!) Trash bags & containers Bar menu (so your guests don’t have to ask the bartenders for the options 100 times) Tooth picks for garnishes TIPS: 1.

Enjoy this true-to-style Veneto Frizzante, now on-tap for eortless pouring, an extended shelf-life, and consistently crisp bubbles. Before filling each keg, clean and sanitize all parts. Connect product tube to product filling connection (5)- ensure secure connection. Purge product through tube to ensure no air is left in the tube using product filling valve (6). If additional back-pressure is required (this will reduce foam build-up during filling) connect suitable gas supply to back-pressure top-up connection (1). Note: for Polykegs® without liner this should be CO2 or Nitrogen (max. 3.5 bar). Adjust back-pressure regulator (4) to maximum setting. Place Polykeg® to be filled on a stable level surface. Fit coupling head to Polykeg® valve. Note: spray a suitable sanitizer solution onto both parts before connection. Close coupler handle (7). Note: Back-pressure gauge (3) will now display the internal Polykeg® pressure. If additional back-pressure is required. Carefully open back pressure top up valve (2) until required pressure is achieved and close the valve. Note: It is vital to have the correct back-pressure when filling Polykegs® fitted with a liner. Carefully open product filling valve (6) - the Polykeg® will now start to fill. Note: It may be necessary to adjust the filling rate using this valve. As the Polykeg® fills, the back- pressure will rise, carefully adjust the backpressure regulator to maintain the desired back-pressure.

  • How to Make Hard Cider
    HOW TO MAKE HARD CIDER INSTRUCTIONS Make a Starter The day before you brew your cider, make a starter. To make a starter, open a h a lf- ga llon bottle of room -temperature apple juice and pour out a few ounces. Pour the contents of one yeast packet into the bottle, reseal it and shake for a few seconds. Within five or six hours, you should see a bit of bubbling within the bottle. Once you do, release the pressure within the bottle, reseal it and put it in the refrigerator overn igh t. Get it out a couple of hours before you sta rt the next morning. Fermentation Stage (15 da ys ) 1. Sa n itize all equipment, using Professional Brewer’s Wash 2. Pou r the starter with yeast into the sanitized fermentation bucket and a dd th e remaining cider (~ 5 gallons). Stir the mixture with spoon to aerate 3. For a 6 gallon batch, add 3 tsp yeast n u trien ts (½ tsp per gallon) and 1½ tsp pectic en zym e (¼ tsp per gallon). 4. Seal the lid and affix the airlock & fill airlock w/ water 5. Place the bucket in a room or closet where the temperature is 65 to 75 degrees Let it Ferment. Within a day or two you should see the airlock start to bubble. Th is bubbling should subside (interval between bubbles exceeds 2 minutes) within two weeks, signifying an end to the primary fermentation. It is now time to transfer (known as rack or racking) the cider to a secondary fermentation vessel, typically a 5 gallon glass carboy where it will sit for 3 -4 weeks to clarify & age.

  • Brew Keg Drink Enjoy
    13 HAMMETT ST. … PH 47281261 BREW KEG DRINK ENJOY A START TO FINISH DETAILING OF WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PUT YOUR BEER ON TAP, FROM THE TEAM THAT HAS BEEN SUPPLYING KEG SYSTEMS IN TOWNSVILLE SINCE 1993 Homebrew on Tap – Real Beer The following has been produced by ‘Water Filters and Brew’ to assist brewers in dispensing beer, and maintenance and cleaning of equipment. Filling Your Keg To begin with we will make some assumptions:- That you have had a beer fermenting and it has been left some extra time to clear. If you have the cold space in a fridge, you may have let the fermenter clear there. It is important to note that if you do an SG test that you clean the tap immediately, as bacteria will build up very quickly on beer droplets that are left in the tap. That you have a keg that has been properly cleaned with YOUNGA`S FERMENTER KEG AND LINE CLEANER or a suitable alternative. That you have cleaned the transfer tube. This tube is usually a metre long and 12m.m. in diameter and is used to transfer beer from fermenter to keg. That you have removed the airlock. If you can tick all these boxes, proceed with the following: 1. Clean your hands 2. Clean the tap 3. Open the tap and let the beer run into a container until your beer runs clear. This should be no more than half a litre. 4. Put the transfer tube on the tap and down into the open keg with the tube deep in the keg, usually on the bottom.

Introduction Most states in the United States impose a sales tax on sales of tangible personal property to a final user or consumer of the property. The transaction is referred to by various terms, such as “retail sale” or “sale at retail,” and in most jurisdictions, it includes leases, rentals and other transfers of custody or possession in exchange for valuable consideration. Most state statutes contain a provision that declares a presumption that such transactions involving the sale, lease or rental of tangible personal property are taxable.
