Alright, so I have now ruined to complete batches of beer and looking for some help before I ruin a third. I posted several weeks ago that my kegs weren't carbing. Well, I left town and just got back to work on my problems. Here is what I did. I pulled the CO2 lines off the kegs and put them in water. Saw a leak coming out of one of them where the line connects to the disconnect. I tightend that down, end of that leak. Next, I placed my O ring in hot water and then pulled up on on the lid of the keg as I shot it with CO2. I purged out the O2 with the CO2 and then took off the quick disconnect. I laid the keg on its side and rolled it around. Saw no beer leaking out so I think I have good seals now. The one batch of beer I ruined because I think I missed something in the sanitation process. However, I want to carb it to try and isolate any additional problems. The second batch is starting to get an off flavor, but I think that is because it has been almost two months since I kegged it and it has not carbed. If there are ANY other things I should try, please let me know. I am about to put batch three into secondary, and I want to avoid any repeats. I have invested a lot of money and time into this, so please, please help me enjoy some homebrew! I appreciate any assistance you guys can offer.
