How long?

How long will a beer last in a King Keg?

Had a couple of pints of a beer i kegged just before christmas and it seems to have passed its best.

It depends on how good your sanitation regime is and how you stored it but you really should be getting a lot longer in your keg.

was stored in the garage, so kept quite cold.

I am coming to the bottom of the barrel, so that could have something to do with it.

So how long would you expect a beer to last A T?

Probly in AT's case , maybe a couple of days

Seriously I kegged 18L back in September and kept it at about 10C and it drank well all the way through to Mid January

mmmmm i knew you'd ask that :lol:
i drink my beers quite young but there is guys on here who leave beers for months without touching the keg. I think Aleman has experience in this field.

I try not to..... I try to have several kegs on the go at one time, that way I can sample a keg slowly as it matures. I say Try. so far I have been unsuccessful at this strategy. The Keg done in September lasted so long only case I wasn't around to sup it.

I've had a beer last 11 months in a King Keg . . . as long as you are careful with sanitation then there should not be a problem . . . Provided the beer is robust enough to age well . . . a session bitter probably won't make it . . . although I am drinking a Session Bitter I made last June . . . but that has been stored in the Kegereezer at temps between -2C and 12C . . .Big beers tend stouts tend to last well, and benefit from the aging process . . . My RIS was brewed on the 2nd Nov, and I shall be bottling it sometime in October/November this year, for drinking around Christmas 2010 . . . . I must admit that I am thinking of splitting it into two 9L cornii and bottling one half next month, and leaving the other corny for next year . . . . :twisted: I must not weaken, I must not weaken :twisted:

It was a session beer.
been on the loo all morning

Just packing my brewing equipment to send over to Greece, the plan was to brew all winter when it is only 10 - 22 degrees and drink all sumer when it will be in the high 30's, unless i can find a way of keeping the brew at a sensible temprature, could keep the air conditioning on in one room all the time but it seems an expensive way to brew.
