I’m with you Broken Crow . I have been using corny kegs for 40 years and have 22 kegs in my arsenal with 17 full ones permanently in my fridges and 4 or 5 on tap at all times . I don’t clean any kegs until a day or two before filling my next brew . I have had a keg sit like this for up to 8 years in temperatures often reaching 40C with no problems . As long as the keg is sealed under CO2 pressure no bugs can get in and cause mould or infection . Once kegs are thoroughly cleaned I sterilise them with boiling water just prior to filling after allowing them to cool . Cheers and beers from the land down under ..

I've left a little moisture in one of my kegs before. After disassembling, soaking in PBW, sanitizing and letting air dry (not for long enough I suppose). A few months later there were a lot of nasties in there. I would let air dry for a few days before storing long term.
