I am attempting to keg my first batch, and it's not working out so well. Here is my method: With the beer and carbonation stone in the keg, I put the regulator to about 2 psi and slowly bleed off oxygen from the headspace until the foam comes out of the opened relief valve. Once that happens, I close the valve and allow it to pressurize, at the same regulator setting. However, what happens is that the foam will come out of the rubber gasket (large o-ring) around the keg cover. I made sure that the o-ring, cover, and inside of the keg are clean and free of debris that would compromise the seal. Any thoughts as to how I can prevent this?
