It's been discussed before (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/leaving-star-san-keg-279203/ and in many other threads), but I couldn't find a concrete answer on my question in particular....
It seems like I can store a keg filled with starsan but unless I use DI / RO water the starsan will break down minerals in the water and cause a cloudy haze that can leave the inside of the keg slimy. Will this in any way damage the inside of the keg? Or is this just simply a matter of 'gonna hafta clean and sanitize' before I move beer into it...
Currently have two 5 gal carboys filled with starsan but will need to be moved somewhere else once they are going to be used as secondary's.
unrelated question (feel free to answer or "hey this should be its own post" me) I'm picking up a keg of Lil Heaven from Two Roads tomorrow just to get my kegerator operational while I wait for this years brews to become ready...When it comes time to connect everything am I going to want to sanitize both the beer lines AND the CO2 lines...or just the beer?
Thanks in advance!
