beer gone bad

[Cwetherford]

I'm starting to keg starting next week and was wondering how long can a beer sit in a keg and still be good

a LONG time if chilled and on co2.

As long as you purge the air out of the keg, and keep the proper carbonating pressure, it will last as long as a bottle.

 

[TopherM]

90-180 days for an average gravity beer, depending on the temp.

Just like with any other storage method, it depends on the beer itself (some beers age better than others) and the temperature it's stored at.

If you keg a barley wine and store it at cellar temps, it'll probably be great for 5 years or more.

The beers I keg never last long enough to worry about it!!!!!

The lightest beer I make only is good for a couple of months, then it starts tasting flat (flavor, not carbonation). But I'm talking uber light. Like OG 1.022 light. the highest gravity beers I make have never gone bad (1.075+)
