Hi all,
I found this morning that a newly filled keg carbing under 10psi in my 68 degree basement was leaking through the beer out post. This is a used Challenger 5 keg and when I received it it held pressure. Upon receiving it I took all the post and gaskets out and cleaned them then reassembled (and no I didn't leave out any gaskets ). If I "over" tighten the beer out post it leaks through the poppet, if I loosen it leaks through the neck of the post. Any suggestions? should I just replace the poppets and gaskets and see if that works? Can you overtighten posts?
Thanks everyone.
