Hi all,
Daft question and probably one you've been asked 100's of times... About to buy all the gear for my homebrew, have decided that keg is the way for me rather than bottles, but then I start to wonder about longevity of the brew. I know sunlight is the enemy of beer once brewed hence most bottles are dark and we should keep them in cool dark place, but my keg will be in the kitchen (but not near a window). Will the beer survive OK? I think the keg will be an opaque one, does it need some other sort of cover? Would it be better in the garage (although it would be a trek to refill my glass)?
Oh and I've just realised, the FV will be in the same place as I'm thinking of keeping the barrel, that'll either be too warm for the barrel (if it's right for the FV) or too cold for the FV (if it's right the for the barrel).... Help!!
Thanks for any answers!!
