Well after seeing how long alot of peoples kegs last, i realized im either a worse alcoholic then i thought or just a glutton..only time my kegs last for awhile is if they need aging..other then that a weekend and good bye keg but thats with my brothers help
 
Only downside is that when you plug in the new keg, it takes a week or two to carbonate. Suppose I could start throwing in a little corn sugar when I keg - maybe 2 ounces so that it could begin priming a bit ahead of time....although this will put yeast back in suspension...........

I force carb my kegs. They're drinkable usually within a week. I like to plan my brew schedule to always have a batch ready to be kegged and carbonated before i run out. Unfortunately that doesn't always work and I end up running to the local store for beer. The good thing is this allows me to try different beers that could end up being my next batch.
