Same keg leaking again.... what did I discovery?

Bad O-Ring on the OUT of my keg... replaced O-Ring and all is well.

Last month lost over 1gal of good beer due to this.

Off to the shop to get all new O rings in the next few days.

mine did the same thing. but I lost 4 gallons of my Blonde Ale. Replaced the oring on the out post and works like a charm again.

You might want to clean the ball lock connector too. I use MLF connectors on mine and they come apart very ease with a big screw driver.

No offense meant to anyone, but why does anyone risk an O-ring leak when you can buy 100 for $3 at Mcmaster.com? At that price, you can replace them everytime you refill or at least quite often.

I only been brewing since late last summer. You can ask every question about brewing and stuff and still come across things you will learn.

I didn't know what to look for as well but do now.

...and if you lube them they'll last longer...
