Hello I am 2 brews into my home brew career and I want to start using my kegging setup for this second brew now that i feel I have enough of the brewing process figured out. Ive had a full corny setup all the way from the keg co2 regulators etc etc. I haven't cleaned the keg since buying it so I figured i would take it outside and clean it along with all my brewing equipment from yesterdays brewing session. I followed another post on here and put a little starsan in the keg filled it with water and put the cap on, then I agitated it like the post said but when i turned it upside down it leaked bad, so I undid the lid and redone it thinking maybe i just made a bad seal, but I got the same results, it was not water tight at all. Its a reconditioned keg with a brand new o ring. The way Im thinking if its not water tight its not going to be air tight. Right? Or Wrong? Please help, Im not sure if I should try to use this keg or not when i beer is ready to come out of the fermenter next week. thanks for any info.
