That is fine. It is best to store your kegs (or bottles for that matter) in a place that doesn't get too hot. I have a hazelnut brown ale at the moment that I am happily drinking after 12 months in the keg, most of that time spent not refrigerated. Paler beers will have a shorter life but still a few months.cstjp1 said:I recently bought 6 19 lt. kegs but only have enough storage in my beer fridge for 2. I was wondering if I could fill the kegs and carbonate them then keep them at room temp? If so how long will it keep?
Thanks
My guess is he's bulk priming using sugar, and sealing the keg up and letting it be.Pirate323i said:Hey thedragon, I see you carbonate at room temp? What pressure do you use and how long does it take? I want to do this for a party keg setup served through an icebox. Any info would be awesome, as I have been told "you have to chill to carbonate"
Cheers!
You don't have to chill to carbonate, it's just that co2 will be dissolved into the liquid more quickly if the beer is cold.Pirate323i said:Hey thedragon, I see you carbonate at room temp?

I was under the impression that less co2 will go into solution at room temp and you wind up with undercarbed beer. Guess I could be wrong but what i do works so I'll stick with it.manticle said:You don't have to chill to carbonate, it's just that co2 will be dissolved into the liquid more quickly if the beer is cold.
