I'm thinking of moving over to kegging in the next few months. So far my reasons are:
* Less cleaning (No need to clean and sanitise 25 - 30 long necks)
* Can get 1 glass of beer at a time, instead of 2 (more for my girlfriend)
* Cool factor
I've only been doing homebrew for about 5 months, but a guy at work told me that he lets his beer sit for 2 months before opening. I've started doing this and I've noticed the beer is much more drinkable then after 1 month.
So if I move to kegs and force carbonate, will I need to wait the same amount of time for the beer to be at the same level of drinkability? I imagine that not priming will bring it that 2 months in a bit, I just would like to know how much...
Costs of the kegs starts to become a factor if i need to leave them the same 2 months. At $70 a keg plus a it starts to cost a bit....
