I'm eager to keg my IPA and have just finished my fridge conversion... I won't be able to get to my LHBS any time soon to get the lube. Do I really need it?
Do I need keg lube?

No, it's nice, but not always necessary.

It just makes getting the connections on and off easier and creates a MUCH better seal. But no it is not necessary.

Thanks for the advice. I'll probably keg this batch and use the Petrol Gel on the rest. I just ordered some from Northern Brewer along with new Orings.

I use a spray silicon. I figure that it'll keep my o-rings from drying up and cracking. Especially the big o-ring.

I use mineral oil.
