I didn't think you were supposed to store starsan in kegs because of stainless and acid. Surely storing the sinter stone in starsan amounts to the same thing?

The pH of cola after all is below 3 and that's what was in these kegs in the first place.

Could you be confusing chlorine and Star San? I've seen chlorine eat holes in stainless. Just a thought.Paul
There's really no need to store it in Star San - just boil it for 10 minutes before use.
