Should I replace this o-ring? And a serious question...

This looks OK, right?

She's a beaut!

So I got my kegerator done tonight (YAY, BEER!) and pulled my first pint. It's got a nice head but still needs more time to fully carb. I've got it on pressure now, but do I need to purge and clean the lines, or can I leave it for a few days and just dump the first half pint when I come back?

Thanks!

Just do as you said and pull off the first pint or so.

Washer looks like it should be okay. I would put some keg lube on it though to help it seal better.

funniest looking dip tube o-ring I've seen. they do get compressed funny, but that there looks more like someone went ot the hardware store to find somethign that'd work.

leave the beer lines. you don't even have to purge whats in the line...just know it'll be flatter than whats in the keg.

I only clean my tap lines every 3 kegs.
