I kegged a batch of beer last night. I just remembered that I forgot to use keg lube. Do I need to use it or can I keep it as is? I don't really want to open it.
 
As long as it's not leaking, you can leave it alone. Keg lube aids in sealing the keg and preserving the o-rings. Going one round without it won't cause your rings to rot.
 
I suppose i should knock on wood right now, buuuuttttttt, in the 2 years I have been kegging I have not used keg lube once.
 
I use it every time as one more thing on the check list but I can't imagine that the local dive bar uses it at all on their kegs.

Wouldn't worry about it too much. :mug:
