Kegging question

[southsidebrewingco]

I would like to start kegging at least one of my brews at a time to make it more convenient for serving when a few friends come over. My big question is how long will the beer stay good once its kegged and carbed? 15 days, 30 days 45 days??? Also who has the best prices on mini systems or used corny kegs.

On Co2 it will be long gone before it expires.
My guess would be months and months.
My beers in 5 gallon kegs last about a month before they're gone. With no help anyway.. With help there gone in 2-3 weeks.

Agreed with the above. Even with 3 in rotation, my kegs are gone within a month. The keg is every bit as air tight as a bottle and purged of O2, so I think it's safe to assume your kegged beer will last as long or longer than you would expect it to last in glass.

I dont expect it to last long t my place either but didnt want to take a chance if something happened where I couldnt get it drank in a reasonable time frame. I checked our craigs list and nothing

Corny kegs are getting harder and harder to find since the soda companies stopped using them.

Age effects different brews in different ways. Kegged beer should last as long as it would bottled. I've had barley wine in a keg for over a year. I taste it every 5 or 6 weeks as it ages; much easier than opening a whole bottle. It's an awesome way to track the effects of long aging..
