what could be my problem...?

phished880 · Dec 29, 2009

I have two kegs that are leaking out of "out" side of the keg. What i mean by leaking is that beer/water/sanitizer will be on top if the keg sits for a while. I've never had this problem before so i'm unsure if it's fixable. all your help is much appreciated.

Sounds like you may need to replace either the poppets or the whole posts. Take it off and take a look to see if you can see anything wrong.

Is this after you take the QD off?
If not, try some Lube on the poppet oring. If this doesn't help replace the poppet.

have you disassembled the post and cleaned them lately? They can get gummed up or have bits of hops crud in them and they will leak. When you put them back together a little plumbers grease/keg lube on the poppet rubber. If they still leak time for new poppets .

Clean and lubricate them.

Did you put a o-ring between the stick and the keg???
