I have been a long time lurker on the forums but after much searching I can't seem to find an answer to my question so I am hoping you guys can help me.
I recently purchased a set of kegs with the hopes of keggiing my own beer. The problem however is that one of the kegs has a small leak on the lid. I have replaced the O-ring and lubed it with keg lube, when i pressurize the keg at 12 psi it leaks until I physically shake the lid into place and even then I am not sure if it seals for the long run.
I have read that people seal finicky lids by blasting with 30psi to make a good seal. Would I be able to blast my keg at 30 psi and then dial my gauge down to 12psi to "set and forget" without purging the keg beforehand?
