I'm trying to get my head around kegging using cornelius kegs instead of bottling.
My understanding is that with bottling, you transfer the fermented wort into the bottle with the addition of a priming sugar and leave it at "cellar" tempuratures for as long as you really want.
Can you store beer siphoned into a corny keg in an unrefrigerated climate and force carbonate it ready for consumption a few months later? I understand you can also use priming sugar in Corny kegs, but I have no idea how long you can leave the keg before consumption nor whether or not refigeration is necessary to prevent it going rancid.
I really want to be able to create a stored supply of beer that I can draw upon when wanted, like you can do with bottling, but I really like the idea of using a single vessle per batch (ie kegging)!
Cheers,
