Default Preserving Guinness on draft at home?!

Hey all,

Just coming to the end of my first keg of Guinness at home. However,
wasn't really able to finish the whole thing before it went bad. It
seems you get about 90 days of freshness for Guinness as the keg sits
in the fridge. So, a few questions. TIA for any ideas:

- Will the beer (Guinness) grow mold INSIDE the keg as it sits in the
fridge at any point? I'm curious since that beer sure will grow mold
fast anywhere else.
- Is there any way to otherwise make the beer last a bit longer?
- Is Guinness available in anything other than a 13+gallon keg?
- Is there any way to keep the draft faucet clear of deposits? In
addition to mold I notice buildup of what appears to be dried beer
sludge from time to time.
- Do you really need to clean all beer lines on a kegerator at least
once a week? I'm starting to think this is a necessity between the the
kegerators I have going.
