Keg Storage
Hey Guys, I have a 4 tap system but have 6 kegs so I would like to start getting ahead. Question: Whats the best/right way to store kegs until I need them? Do I simply fill them and purge the air? Ive done this before but Im concerned that the CO2 does get absorbed in the beer and there is not a pressured seal. What do you do? How long is the beer good for in a cool storage area? tia!

Re: Keg Storage
I pressurized the kegs, then just topped it up every once in a while, it was fine

Re: Keg Storage
if you're going to store the kegs warm for a bit anyway you could always prime in them, hit them with enough co2 for them to seal, then let them carbonate naturally in the keg until it's time to chill and serve.

Re: Keg Storage
I'd recommend a external manifold. Purge keg. Fill. Then set at 30 psi at room temp until you need it.
