Kegged beer lofe span?

[benzy4010]

Ow long does a keg usually last I want to keg and make a keezer but I'm not sure it would last long enough for me to have three beers in kegs at a time. Should unstick with bottling?

Huh? It lasts as long as it takes you to drink it...

It will last just as long as in the bottle if you push with CO2. Probably longer because no light will permeate the keg.

I don't keg, but if I understand your question correctly, the answer is the beer lasts at least as long in a keg as it does in a bottle. Depends more on your pressure and temp control than age.

Go for it! Homebrew will be fine for months, maybe even get better.

Now, BMC is different. That stuff has its ' born on date' and only gets worse from day one.

Kegged beer will last quite a while. The main factors that would spoil your beer is light and temperature. Keep it dark (No problem in a SS Keg) and keep it cold. The higher the ABV of the beer, the longer it should last before it turns. In my personal experience, my beer usually lasts 6-8 months before it starts to change.

I have kept kegs of beer in my fridge for a year or more (although most don't last nearly that long). Each was a lager and they were all fantastic. Currently I have a rauchbier aging in the back of my keg fridge that is over 7 months old that I will drink this fall.

Although not necessary, if you can do it: time + lager =

But once tapped and you start drinking from it will it stay good for months?

Of course. It will last as long as a bottle, maybe longer since it would be kept out of the light and kept cold.
