Any danger in leaving Starsan in a keg? Will it damage the stainless at all?
I'll say something controversial - I've gone as long as six months, 15 corny kegs or so.
That said, my entire line is refrigerated and with good hygiene on both ends of the line I never saw evidence of beer stones or mildew, no off flavors, etc. I doubt I would ever go that long again, the irony is that I'm an obsessive compulsive germophobe. But to me once every 4-6 corny kegs is probably fine for someone using good sanitary procedures in an all refrigerated setup.
How often do you think your local bar cleans their lines?
I pull a pint or two every few days to keep fresh beer in the lines.
You're leaving the beer in the line too long. I pull a few pints every day just to keep fresh beer in the lines.
Slipgate said:lol - I have NEVER cleaned the lines. Been running for 2 years. Longest is 30 days without a pull. Never had a taste issue or otherwise.
clickingwires said:I usually have an extra keg or two kicking around that is full of either Star San or PBW. I *try* to flush the line with PBW between kegs or if it's not going to be used for a while i fill it with PWB. Then flush before putting beer though it.
Are there any disadvantages to this method?
