Hello all,

1. I’m planning to buy a used keg and can I use this keg sort of as my secondary fermenting bucket before I hook it up to the Co2 tank?
2. Once it’s hooked up, how long can the beer be stored in the keg?
3. I can regularly remove the Co2 tank from the keg even if there is beer in there. Will that effect the quality of the beer?
 
1. yes. all keggers use kegs as secondaries
2. kegged beer is good for a year, or thereabouts; depending on style. a hefeweizen, less; a belgian, yep
3. no
