Hi Vinny, my husband used to work for a well known brewery & has just informed me that the smallest wooden kasks are normally around 9 gallons in capacity. Also, very, very, few independent brewers still supply their beers this way. The normal container for real ales would be an alluminium kask, lined with stainless steel, which is far easier to sterilise.
Hope this helps.
If you want something for a party try a polypin 36 pints; basically a heavy duty plastic bag in a carboard box with a tap. Polypins & Minipins contain real ale, which is conditioned in the container and therefore has a small amount of yeast sediment present in the beer. For best results the beer should rest in position for 24 hours prior to serving allowing the beer to clear.Most small breweries do them and prices depend on beer strength.
