Hi guys,
I recently purchased 2 used ball-lock kegs online to start my kegging adventure. When the kegs arrived, I unpacked them and started to clean them. I took off the lid, put in some oxyclean and hot water and put the lid back on. When I started to shake, water started leaking from the lid. Since I'm a new to kegging, I have no idea if this is normal. I took the lid back off and inspected the o-ring. It looks ok but I decided to replace it just to be safe. The keg still leaks around the lid. When I put co2 to the keg, it is airtight. No liquids leak and I don't hear any CO2 leaking. This makes some sense to me but I am still thrown off by the lid leaking water. Is this normal or should I return the kegs(that could be a pita).
Thanks in advance,
