How long can you store home brew beer in a pressure barrell?

posted on December 27, 2009 in how to brew beer


The key is the exposure to oxygen…also the temperture, style of beer, and alcohol content.
If you fill your keg, seal it, then turn on the CO2 at low pressure and pull open the pressure release to bleed off the oxygen…you should be fine at room/cellar temperature for at least 6 months before you start noticing a drop in freshness.
If you are storing it cold, it’s more like 9 months.
If it’s a high-gravity beer, you can pretty much store it indefinitely. Your flavors will change as the beer ages, but generally not in an unpleasant way.

Is there anything I can do with all the used grains and hops after making wort for my home brew beer?
