storing syrup 6-9 years.

If most of the issues with storing syrup for extended periods are with the bung. Would it make sense for me to buy the 40 gallon barrels with just the 1 bung instead of 2. What would be the pros and cons of each. I have only ever owned 15 gallon kegs with just the 1 bung.

Hi ,i am jimmy ,I've had syrup that had been stored in SS for 10 years, it was fine. It was packed hot. As long as the seal is good you will be fine. Store it as cool as you can. Syrup warehouses where long term storage is holding syrup are kept refrigerated, but I don't know what temp. they cool it to.

I would not buy a 2 bung drum. Why double chances of leaks?
