Hi All,
I just got my kegging equipment and plan on kegging a batch of Apfelwein tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone could help me to fix a gas leak. I used soapy water at all possible points on the Keg, Regulator, and CO2 tank. The keg worked beautifully. I just replaced the O-rings on both posts and the cover, and used keg lube on them. The regulator barb was kind of obstructed by a hose clamp, so i couldn't see if the water was bubbling.
However, when i sprayed the solution on the CO2 tank nozzle/regulator connection, bubbles were blowing up in the soap. I looked and there isn't any rubber-type seal between the two. It looks like metal on metal contact. I used my wrench to tighten the seal as tightly as humanly possible but it didn't make a difference. The seal is poor. What do you all recommend that i do to fix this?
Thanks in advance for the help!
