I am less than 6 months into homebrewing, but started out kegging (had a kegerator already so why wash bottles). I have purchased "recondioned" kegs and have run into a problem with one of them.
Typically, I hook up the CO2 and not the liquid out line while I am force carbinating. One of my kegs holds pressure okay, but during forced carbination it leaks been. I suspect it is coming out of beer out line, but I am having trouble observing the leak (only the puddles afterwards). It does not seem to leak once the liquid out line is hooked up.
My question is .... is there a problem with the keg or my method (should I hook up the liquid out line while force carbinating?) And if there is a problem with the keg, how do I fix it (does the liquid out pole - not sure of the technical name - need to be replaced?
Any help would be appreciated!
