My wife has given me the OK to look into getting another keg and ditching bottles altogether. My current process is to make a batch to keg, then wait a few weeks and make a batch to bottle. That way, there is always something in the home brew available (if they are good of course). I would have to keep the second keg at room temp probably in my closet that has not gotten above 73 degrees ambient since I have been paying attention. In the research that I have done (search of this site mostly) it seems that a full Corny keg with the head space purged of any O2 can be stored at room temp for up to six months? I don't think I will need it that long, but would that be a good guess? My beers have been of the hoppy variety, mostly IPA's and delving into the Pale Ale and even Blonde Ale arena. So, with that said, would I be safe to store a full Corny keg of say and IPA for a month or two at room temps? If not, I will keep the bottles as I have collected enough bottles to make 3 5 gallon batches. They do take up a bit of space, and honestly I don't mind. But heck, if she gives me to go ahead why not. My end goal is to have either a bigger fridge that will serve 3 or a keezer, so this is a small step towards that goal. Any input is greatly appreciated. And yes, I have used the search button so this is just more for confirmation of what I think I already know. RR
