I have purchased my keg setup (it's just not set up yet )
My question is, we all know that bottles left to age will improve the flavour greatly. I have been told the beauty of the keg system is you brew it, you gas it, then you chug it. But do kegs benefit from aging as well??? And if so:
1. Should they be left warm or chilled? Chilled bottles will not mature any further so is this the same with kegs?
2. Should they be gassed or left ungassed?
I don't drink huge amounts of beer, but I have four kegs. Ideally I would like to have about 3 of them going at once, using one and letting the others mature (if thats possible). How long can they mature for before reaching an optimum level or am I just kidding myself and they never improve any further.
Any advice would be appreciated.
