Storage in a Keg

I'm going to be leaving in October until Christmas. Can I store carbonated beer in a keg that long? I would like to have some sitting in my fridge upon my return. If not cold in the fridge, at least in a keg and ready to go in the fridge.

Thanks

Chris

Depends on the style but almost certainly yes.

Thanks Graham,

It will more than likely be a light ale that I'll make prior to leaving.

It'll store fine so long as your sanitation is good.

I sure hope beer can keep for 3 months in a keg, I've got homebrew close to a year old on the go now. :)

Just beer sure all of the seals are tight, so nothing leaks while you're away.

It also depends on how many room mates you have.
