First off, it's been a long time between brewing, and a long time since I've been on the site.
I was here regularly during my lunchtime at work, but the LAN guys put in a new firewall the blocks sites that come up as Beer/Alcohol.
I've always thought the best way to "store" a keg was to clean it out, spray with Sanstar, pump in some CO2 and set it aside, assuming it would be "ready to go" the next time. Mine are always covered with a sheet. But they are in the cellar and subject to the cold/warm/dry/humid environment.
I just brewed again (kit) and went to keg it and had to re-wash the keg as the bottom had some brown sludge, my guess is was the Sanstar. Took the keg brush to clean it.
So the question is - for long term storage, what is the best way to store a keg that may sit for
6 months, a year or more?
Thanks guys!
