Star San

You use acid to passivate stainless, so it wouldn't hurt there. Worst I can think of is that it contains electrolytes so if there are any dissimilar metals in the keg, it would cause corrosion of the most active metal. Star San sanitizes in two minutes so I'd clean the keg, store it closed, then sanitize a couple of minutes before filling. Limits the risk to essentially zero.

I have a keg of it in my garage I use for purging my jockey box and lines on occasion. I probably won't refill it when it empties but that is more due to having a keg out of circulation than any concern about the metal.

I've got a tub of it 2 months old in my garage still going strong.

Mix it with distilled water and it lasts essentially forever.

I've read that it is only good for 48 hours once mixed. After 48 hours its ability to sanitize declines. If someone else could comment on this that would be very helpful.

Thanks to everyone for the advice and guidance. I do appreciate it, and plan on availing myself to it very much going forward, starting from day one as I am.

Yes, I live in southern Erie County, Hamburg to be exact.
