Freezing Kegs

[ACbrewer]

Anyone know why a keg kept outside in the cold, possibly freezing temps, stored empty (no liquids) couldn't be used?

I think maybe a seal/gasket might need replacing, but I can't see any long term harm to the keg itself? Has anyone done this?

it's all stainless so aside from the o-rings possible getting brittle you're fine. And more than likely once the rubber warms up it will be okay, age is their biggest enemy. Replace the gaskets and the seals in the connections and you're all set.

I wouldn't have even thought to ask. Any particular reason you're worried about having problems?

I assume just clean and sanitize as normal. Check your rubber bits after cleaning as normal. Though I'd keep them out of the elements at least, maybe over them with a tarp.
