Does anyone do this? I have a bunch of corny kegs not in use at the moment. So I was thinking that I could fill a couple of them with water to have on-hand should something happen to our water supply, that way we would have emergency potable drinking water. I had been thinking about doing this for awhile, and then a couple days ago our water supply was interrupted, and when it returned it was pouring out brown. I figure for 2 people, 2 kegs will give us a minimum of 5 days of drinking water, and up to 10 days.
But my question, for anyone who does this, and for anyone who thinks about it, is how to you treat the water prior to filling the keg? Would you carbon filter it before filling the kegs? Or do you want to keep the chloramine/chlorine in there due to the fact that you're going to have the water sitting in the keg for a long time? I plan on preparing the kegs just as I would if I were filling it with beer. PBW cleaning, rinse, starsan final sani-treatment. I *may* add a final rinse of the starsan however, to remove the taste, but maybe not, maybe just fill on the foam.
So, your thoughts? Is 2 kegs enough for 2 people?
Cheers,
