Your keg posts. Especially don't forget to check them the first time you use the keg <facepalm>.
I was getting ready to keg my Belgian Wit today, so I went with SOP: Pulled clean empty keg, mixed 2.5G Starsan, shook it like crazy, proceeded to hook up to kegerator to dispense so as to sanitize the lines/fittings/faucet/etc. As soon as I hooked up the CO2 in, I started getting the foam out of the base of the liquid out post. So I immediately disconnected everything, vented the keg and started investigating.
Cause number 1, the liquid out post wasn't even FINGER TIGHT. Cause number 2, the dip tube gasket was tragically worn. Fortunately, I had a spare gasket, got everything tightened up and it is all working leak free now.
This concludes a public service announcement brought to you by Tiny Apartment Brewing!
