I have one keg that has trouble sealing at the main seal. What I do is run the lubed up o-ring under hot tap water for a minute or two then close the keg and blast it with 30-40 psi. This seals it up nicely and won't leak after that.

I'd love to get one if I could. I'm open to almost anything, but would prefer something that's not a guinness since you can find those here. I'm sure shipping to Canada wouldn't cost any more than to the USA. I'm willing to pay for the postage up front. I think it makes more sense for the...

If it's sealed properly and there's no infection, then it's just like a big bottle. Some beers will improve with age, others will not. A big barleywine will probably get better after a few years.

I'm setting up my keezer right now and I am installing my faucets on the collar of my freezer. The shanks came with the black plastic collars that are supposed to go up against the wood. I think it looks better without them. Is there any reason why I should use the black pastic collars on...

Defalco's sometimes carries S-04. Call the different locations to see if they have any right now. I've made Graff (using store bought apple juice) with it and it turns out really nice.

check rona or home hardware. They usually have a nice red one that many canadian brewers use. A keggle fits perfectly on it.

I paid $60 from a local hardware store.

That's the burner I have, and I think it's the one they sell at rona.

Rona usually sells a propane burner. And canadian tire should have some large stockpots. I'm not sure if they're on the website, but I have seen them at most locations.
