thinking about starting a kegerator

[S_carve]

well i have an extra small fridge just sitting in my basement and doesnt do a thing, now i'v botteled my 3rd batch of beer and the bottleing process isnt too exciting (that i can remember )

so my question is if i make a kegerator setup how long will the beer last in it before going bad?

Do you like beer? Do you have friends, and do they like beer? If so, it's probably not an issue. You get at LEAST six months out of a batch provided it's bottled/kegged properly and stored properly. I'm assuming that you know about temperature and UV concerns. If it's lasting you more than six months, I want to be your friend.....

I still have beer that's over 2 years old...want a bottle? (Just kidding...about the offer, I do have the beer...)

so once a keg is tapped and ready it will last about 6 months as long as it is chilled?

it can last longer than 6 months, depending on style, storage, handling, etc.
