Tried to find some info on this, but couldn't. I brewed a pumpkin ale that has been sitting in the keg purged with co2, but uncarbonated for a week or two now. It will probably remain like this for another week or 2 until it goes into the kegerator to get chilled/carbed up. It has been sitting in my closest, which I have noticed has been in the upper 70's/low 80's in there. I know storing kegs at room temperature is fine as long as they are properly treated, but has anyone noticed any off flavors developed from storing them at a slightly less than ideal room temperature, or warmer?
 
It will age faster at warmer temps. Even room temperature is worse off than storing cold. What you can get away with depends on your beer and your palette.
 
i see 30 packs of BMC on the end caps of isles all the time.....
