I want to have beer ready on demand when my kegs run dry (2). I want to be proactive and begin brewing multiple batches and storing them.

What is the best way?
Racking to a corny, pressurize it to what level?

Leave in the Carboy?

What temp to store, fridge, garage, basement?

Also how long can i store it?

Thanks in advance:ban:
 
There are a couple ways to do it.

If both my taps are full then I rack straight to a keg, purge to remove O2, add some priming sugar (only have one regulator right now), put about 40 lbs of pressure on the keg and let it sit somewhere around 70ish degrees.

If my taps are empty I'll rack straight to a keg, purge, (and I might let it bulk age depending on the beer for awhile), and force carb to the correct pressure depending on my fridge temp, and the desired CO2 level. Let it sit for a few weeks and then enjoy.
