I received four kegs from Northern Brewer over the weekend. Two of them were ok, but the other two seemed to be ancient. In fact, I'm pretty sure they are the first two kegs ever made.
I'm new to kegging but there were a couple things about these two kegs that don't seem right. One of them has a plastic gas in tube with a warped top. It looks like the poppet feet created indentations in the top of the tube. The other keg has hard white plastic washer-type things under the poppet. They rest between the poppet and the dip tube.
Is there anything I need to be concered about? I think the kegs were Firestone, if that makes any difference.
Also, I don't have a CO2 tank or regulator yet so I can't check to see if they hold pressure.
