Can't speak for others, but I understand Danish quite well - as long as
I don't have to speak/write it.

Yes, kegs rule. I got well tired of washing bottles even with my small
batch size, so I got kegs too. It is a bit of an investment, you need
the keg(s), a bottle of CO2, a regulator for the same, a way to cool
your beer (I keep mine in a dedicated refrdgerator), a tap or two (I am
still using Brygladen's picnic tap - for a while), and a number of
connectors and tubes. But it does make life quite much easier.

Opening it doesn't make that much of a difference, if you use CO2 to
pump it out. If you let air into the keg, you need to drink it in a few
days, maybe a week. Less than that if you also keep it warm...
My problem tends to be that I run out of beer, not that it gets bad.
Unless I have managed to introduce an infection somewhere in the
brewing/kegging process, of course.
