Ok.. i know..
no leaks at all .. but...
I just racked my third brew into my keg. (first time to keg a brew)
I've put pressure on it and set the regulator to around 30lbs (it's not cooled.. probalby around 70 deg)
well... i can hear an ever so faint hiss coming from the top.. and i used the ol' soap and water trick to find out that the leak is coming from underneath the in valve stem.. or whatever it's called.
I obviously know that you don't want these to leak but the only crecent wrench i have that fits in between the rubber top isn't very and doesn't have very good leverage. (it's freaking hard to hold those damn kegs while torquing on them)
do i need to go to HD and get a deep 11/16th in socket and crack down on it some more or should some keg lube do the job... or.... do i need a new gasket
sorry.. sometimes even when i know the answer i feel i need to ask the question.
what do yall do when your stem leaks? (pun most certainly intended)
