I was in the process of getting ready to do my first kegging and while cleaning the keg I noticed something that worried me. I filled the keg with some warm water, put the lid on and was shaking it around while cleaning it and I noticed that when I had it upside down there was water leaking out around the lid. When I pulled the pressure release before popping the top a bit of gas came out, maybe shaking up caused a bit of pressure to build.
What does this mean? If liquid came out it doesn't seem to be sealing, but at the same time when I pulled the release gas came out. Was it because it was upside down that it leaked?
I am going to quite worrying and have a homebrew and just let this sit in the secondary for a bit longer.
Oh, on a side note, does anyone know if there is some trick to using an auto siphon? I tried using it and just managed to aerate my beer and get it to move a tiny bit at a time.
Thanks!
