This Stardew Valley guide compares Kegs and Preserves Jars, two crucial tools for transforming crops into valuable artisan goods. While both boost profits, especially with the Artisan profession's 40% price increase, their efficiency differs. This updated guide (January 8, 2025) reflects the 1.6 update's additions to usable ingredients.
Kegs and Preserves Jars: A Head-to-Head Comparison
Both Kegs and Preserves Jars are invaluable for creating high-value artisan goods from farm produce. Importantly, input quality doesn't affect output value; use your lowest-grade produce for maximum efficiency.
Preserves Jars:
Preserves Jars produce Jellies, Pickles, Aged Roe, and Caviar. Obtain them through Community Center bundles, the Prize Machine, or crafting (Farming Level 4):

Wine,

Kegs vs. Preserves Jars: The Verdict
Kegs generally yield higher profits, especially with cask aging for Iridium-quality goods. However, they are more expensive and time-consuming to produce. Preserves Jars offer quicker returns and lower initial costs, making them ideal for early-game profits or low-value, high-yield crops. Ultimately, a combination of both maximizes profitability and versatility. Consider the base price of your produce: fruits under 50g and vegetables under 200g often benefit more from Preserves Jars due to faster processing times.
