    Another Keg Leaking Thread

    Hey all, I couldn't find a thread with the same issue I'm having. I have discovered a leak in one of the kegs I just got. It's not leaking from the lid or the posts. It's not the o-rings or springs or any of that stuff. (I replaced them all.) Here's a picture of where it's leaking...

    Over-carbonated?

    Hi all, This is my first time kegging my cider, and it seems that it's not carbonating the way I expected. I tried to do the quick shake method: I put the regulator up to 30 psi and shook the keg by rolling it for 10 min. Then I let it sit overnight at 30psi and it didn't seem carbonated. I...
