Curious question, but can I brew a batch of beer, and let it sit in a spare keg until my current keg empties? Or will that produce off flavors, lose aromatics, go bad, etc? It would be sitting in my basement, maybe a few months... Or would it be better just to wait and brew closer to when i...

Ok so im pondering the idea of putting together a chili lime cerveza ale recipe... ive been coming across the articles for chili beer so i thought maybe i could make a batch and see how it comes out. People seem to either love it or hate it (the chili beer concept). Heres a recipe ive kind...
