Sort by machine morning when the shed is full
Added gold per item answers “what sells for more?” Added gold per occupied morning answers “what should use the next free Keg?” Both numbers are shown because they answer different farm questions.

Keg price list and input choices
Use the Keg that is free this morning, not a static tier list
Wine usually wins on value for expensive fruit, but a Keg decision changes when the input is a vegetable, the crop is Gold quality, or you need the machine back before a festival. This page shows the ranking and lets you test your own stack in the same view.
Quality is an opportunity cost
Wine and Juice do not preserve crop quality. A Gold or Iridium crop therefore gives up more raw-sale value than a Normal crop even when the finished drink price is unchanged.
The table is a shortlist, not a promise
The ranking assumes one clean batch and a fixed profession. Use the stack checker below—or the full planner—when several crops compete for the same Kegs or arrive on different days.
Rice must be milled before it becomes Vinegar
In Stardew Valley 1.6, one milled Rice in a Keg makes two Vinegar. Unmilled Rice must go through a Mill first; the price list calls this input Rice (milled) so a recipe or AI answer cannot quietly turn the wrong item into Vinegar.

How this calculator works
A Keg price list is useful only when it respects time and the input you can replace.
Use the exact input
Quantity, quality, profession, route rules, and the raw-sale alternative are applied to the same stack.
Count finished work
A result counts only complete batches that fit the selected machine capacity and deadline.
Keep the limits visible
Unsupported machines, inputs, or scheduling assumptions stay in the scope note instead of being guessed.

Before you use the result
Where can I see a Stardew Valley Keg price list?
This page lists modeled Keg inputs with raw sale value, finished batch sale value, cycle length, added gold per input, and added gold per Keg morning. Change quality and profession before treating the order as your farm’s answer.
What is the best thing to put in a Keg?
There is no universal answer. Expensive fruit often creates the most gold per item, while faster brews can create more gold per occupied morning. Choose the sort that matches your bottleneck, then test the exact stack below the ranking.
Should I sort by profit per item or per day?
Use profit per item when the crop is scarce. Use profit per occupied morning when your Kegs are the bottleneck or you need the machines back quickly. ValleyMath keeps both measures visible.
Does crop quality change the Keg recommendation?
Yes. Keg outputs do not preserve crop quality, while selling the crop raw does. Silver, Gold, and Iridium inputs therefore give up more raw value than Normal inputs.
Is Wine always better than Juice?
No. Wine usually has the higher final price for fruit, but Juice can finish sooner. A short deadline or a full queue can make the faster route more useful.
Can the table account for my actual stack?
Yes. Enter the item, quantity, quality, profession, available Kegs, and deadline. The stack result counts complete batches, leaves the remainder raw, and can be moved into the full mixed-inventory planner.
Does Rice make Vinegar in a Keg?
Yes. In version 1.6, one milled Rice makes two Vinegar in a Keg. Unmilled Rice must be processed in a Mill first, so the calculator lists the input as Rice (milled) and prices the two-bottle output together.
