I'm not worried about leakage, it's been empty for a while but is sealed tight with the bung and has a whisky coating on the inside, with another whisky coating to be applied prior to the beer going in. Though, maybe I should be worried about drying, not sure...fakr? Tom?
It will be fully sealed and stored at 55F, as it is now.
I'm more concerned about possible oxidization, but think that a full CO2 Flush should fix that. Especially since the beer will already be CO2 rich before going in and will likely be slowly giving up the CO2 from solution.
