still waiting patiently for the next round of Kegs. Watch it be on a night I'm out with the kids for dinner
Just wanted to say you guys rock. Great selection of malts and a super awesome selection of hops. Incredible prices to boot. Good luck on the store and if you were near me I would probably just be lurking there about every other day. Thanks.
Hey Happy Keg Buyers!
Just a heads up: It appears that (at least the one I received) the plastic lids do not hold pressure. Try as I might to get that thing situated correctly, it still won't hold pressure. Thankfully, the other keg I got was a metal lid, and it's holding pressure just fine. Guess I'm going to have to find a replacement lid, now.
Can you locate the leak with water or starsan (creates bubbles)? I.E. can you see it bubbling around the lid or is it leaking through the relief valve? All of these had pressure in them before I washed them so it should work. Let me know what you come up with. Also are you using keg lube on the lids?

Also, with the plastic lids there is a groove that the o-ring sits in. Make sure it is sitting in that groove correctly.
Cheers,
John
Looks like the plastic lid keg isn't holding pressure. Seems to be leaking around the little raised part of the lid. Tried lube, tried sealing it with co2, but it's all leaked out in 24 hours. Not sure if it got rattled during shipping or what happened. Changed out the o-ring and seated it into the grove. Still no luck...
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
Swap lids with another keg. I'm betting it's not the lid, theres probably a slight defect in the keg lip where the o ring seals. I have a couple kegs like that. You might need an oversize o ring to get it to seal.
Swapped out the plastic lid with the metal lid that came on the second keg that I ordered. Seemed to seal up quicker but still wasn't holding pressure after 24 hours. I'm going to try the plastic lid on another keg to make sure it's not the lid (looking more and more like it's not) but I'm about out of ideas.
How many do you need?
We will have Simcoe, Citra and Amarillo leaf hops by the ounce later today.
Are you going to be getting more Simcoe pellets in?
Hey John, thanks for the order. The grain mill and hops showed up on Friday. Great price and service...you're the best bro!
