I got a used keg in the mail from some guy on ebay. It was holding pressure fine for weeks, so I cleaned it out and filled it with iodine solution.
But no matter how I try I cannot get the lid to seal again. The gasket looks fine. I flipped it around and tried moving it around and holding it up tight while clamping down, but the seal is so bad that just tipping the keg releases pretty good amounts of liquid. How the heck did this hold pressure?
If i Put 2 stacked o-rings there it holds sometimes, but I am just wondering if there is some trick I mighta missed. I am new to kegging. thanks
