How To Get A Keg In Stardew Valley

If you're a farmer in Stardew Valley, one of the most useful items you can get your hands on is a keg. Kegs can help you make all kinds of different beverages, from wine to beer, to pale ale. Once you turn your produce into these Artisan items, you can make a lot more money off of your harvests and get new gifts to give to townspeople. (Harvey and Leah love wine!)

But how do you get a keg so you can use it for those purposes? 

As a Stardew Valley beginner, you might be unsure of how to get your hands on a keg. In this article, we'll explain how to get and where to place a keg so you can produce Artisan products.

Kegs are extremely useful and profitable items, but you'll need to get to Farming Level 8 in order to buy them. Once you get there, there are a few methods to get a keg.

First, you will earn a keg in return for completing the Artisan Bundle or Brewer's Bundle in the Pantry. This is only one keg, though, and you'll need a lot more of them if you want to mass-produce beverages like wine, pale ale, beer, and more.

Aside from the one keg, you'll earn from finishing the Artisan Bundle or Brewer's Bundle, you can build your own kegs using a recipe.

To build a keg, you need:

  • 30 Wood

  • 1 Copper Bar

  • 1 Iron Bar

  • Oak Resin

Where To Place Kegs In Stardew Valley

You can place kegs inside farm buildings like sheds or outside, giving you a lot of room for flexibility in the design of your farm in Stardew Valley.

If you choose to put your kegs in a farm building, you can keep up to 67 of them in a shed, 137 in a big shed, or 90 in a barn. Outside, you aren't limited by space. Instead, you can place your kegs anywhere you want.

Objectively, if you want to place them inside, the best place to put your kegs is inside a big shed; you can fit the most kegs in the smallest amount of space using this approach.

That's all you need to know about kegs in Stardew Valley, including how to get them and where to place them for an optimal setup. You can get kegs by making them yourself or as a reward for completing Bundles, and the best place to place them is inside a big shed.
