If I do any stronger beers, I think I'd rather just get more carboys and let em sit.
There seems to be an advantage because you end up with a more consistent beer.
Or so I've heard.
How many kegs do you have?
And what's your setup?
There's a thing they sell at Costco that has room for two kegs and it comes premade with two taps on top ~$500.
The buckets to me just seemed sketchy, I've worked with a lot of chemicals and the plastic buckets retain some smells.
Also, I've got plenty of room, I may eventually set up some pro stuffs in my garage.
One advantage to letting it sit is you dont risk contamination and you dont incorporate oxygen. I usually will transfer to a spare keg for long term just because then i do not tie up my carboy/buckets and i have an extra keg for that.
I have 4 kegs, can fit 3 in a chest freezer i bought. Have a temperature regulator on it and built a collar keezer with 3 perlick 630SS faucets
