Hey All,
I did a good search to try and find my answer to this question but never really found exactly what I was after.
I want to get into kegging eventually and am concerned about only one thing....
Whilst I give a fair bit of my beer away to friends/family (currently in bottles), I still find it takes quite a while for little ole me to get through a batch of brew. So I started wondering if I am going to have to up my drinking in order to get through a keg before it goes 'bad'.
So..... is there a general 'use-by' date for beer once it is in a keg and dispensing? Or will it last for a long while? I know it must depend on the beer but I generally stick to the normal style ales.
I know it is going to take me a while to get through a keg by myself but don't want to waste the beer if it will deteriorate quicker in a keg than in a bottle.
Thanks for your patience!
Matt
