What is the most effective way to put kegs

I want to know

depends on whether or not you have the automate mod or strictly vanilla.
Some people like to put them outside and line them up as fences. you don't have to worry about fences decaying that way.
Once you have a shed you can put double rows in the shed, with room to walk between them.

If you have the automate mod, then once trees are grown, place a chest in front of the tree, and fruit will harvest automatically. Then place one or more kegs around the tree trunk and wine will be made and put back into chest for you. You can do the same with jars to get jellys automatically made as trees produce fruit.

I like to place my kegs all over the road leading to the tunnel (past where the bus is) as well as inside the tunnel itself. On the path in-between the north exit of your farm and west of Robin's house is a great place too, as well as all over the west side of the Ginger Island Farm once you gain access to it later on.

Not only is there plenty of space to place a lot of them at once, but you can easily set them up in such a way that you can have many of them lined up in a row which makes placing fruit inside and collecting your wine much faster, plus it's also completely out of the way of NPCs since nobody walks there, meaning nobody can destroy your hard work.

An example of how I like to set them up:

Very easy to manage and as you can see there was room for even more of them. But more importantly I would also recommend that you keep them as close as possible so that you don't have to waste too much time traveling and carrying stuff to them back and forth.

here's how I have things lined up in my automated warehouse shed for processing fruits.

I use Ellie's green house which has a second room for 48 trees, and I have automated machines around all of them.

Once you get to the big numbers, for example 400 kegs, it starts to get very tedious to both find space for them, and also to put and take out things from them all the time. I found a mod that allows you to craft higher triers of kegs, that can process multiple things at once. For example, you can craft a keg that processes 20 things at once, and costs 20 times the materials to craft. There are different recipes for different kegs and Clint sells them all, the higher tiers are very expensive to buy so it's not something you can start crafting as soon as you unlock kegs.

It's a cool little mod, saves you space on your farm and saves you from the tedious chore of managing hundreds of kegs.

Are you refering to this mod? Bulk Processors (Solid Foundations)[www.nexusmods.com]
I haven't had the chance to try it yet but it seems neat and more stuff is being added with time it seems. I know there is another keg related mod which I was under the impression is a bit outdated. A very good tip regardless, if one is interested in mods :>

I use a barn for mine. Aesthetically, I prefer barns to sheds. Fully upgraded, there's a lot of space inside.

Your animals must be having a party 24/7 :D

No, I'm using this mod specifically since I didn't want anything else but kegs and it works just like I want it to work: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5180

Works just fine with the current version of the game and causes no conflicts with a lot of other mods I have installed, including SVE.

Okay, that's the one I saw had some unsolved bugs reported. Good if it works for you, but I would recommend for anyone else to keep that in mind just in case :>

Lol ... I actually keep separate barns for animals and kegs, so my animals are actually deprived of the produce from my kegs ;)

I'm not a huge fan of the animal mechanics, so ... I generally only have one barn full of animals (just so I can complete the Community Center). But anytime I need more space for something, I'm likely to build a barn instead of any other structure.
