I just bought a few used corny kegs and am saving for the rest of the set-up. I've seen plenty written on force carbing and serving line lengths, etc, but my question is more basic.
My freezer setup right now will allow storage of 3, maybe 4 kegs. I will need to get another freezer so I will have one to use to ferment in and one for serving out of, but it would still be about the same size. What do you do with excess kegs? Do you fill with beer, force carb (they have to be cold for that, right?). After that can they be stored at room temp until ready to tap? Or do you fill, pressurize enough to seal and remove O2 and then store at room temp until space is available in the freezer, then force carb and serve?
Any details on what YOU do would be great.
