I just transferred a batch of stout into the second fermentor myself. I will probably bottle it sometime next week. I want to buy some kegs so I can brew more often I hate cleaning bottles all the time, especially when its over a hundred bottles for 2-3 batches.
Where did you buy the kegs and and taps for them?
I got my initial kegging system (co2 tank, regulator, 1 keg, hoses, quick relief valves, etc...) from Brewer's Discount. I would definitely recommend this place.
I have sense then added 8 or 9 kegs which I have purchases from the Green Bay Rackers at $7-10 each. I think the going rate is about $15-20.

How long does homebrewed beer stay good for?
indefinitely, but in general the stronger the beer, the better it will age. Some beers are best consumed starting at 1 month. Some, like barley wines and belgiums, will get better for years to come.

Looks like a good time to slap a 2x6 collar on that cooler and mount some taps on it. I finally did it to mine and I love it. Just be sure to take the hinge off of the freezer part not the lid. I screwed up and it took me forever to get them lined back up right.
Yeah I do need to do that, but I may not keep this particular cooler much longer, and I might end up buildign a little basement bar too.

any idea how much co2 taps cost?
a complete system will run you about $160, $20 for the keg, $60 for the co2 tank, 50$ for the regulator, 30$ for miscellanious.
