I dried them for two days, and they were very dry. they seem to have lost all their cascade aroma. They smell like "grass" to me, not that kind, but regular old...

    Can someone tell me why i cant connect my kegs? Photos inside

    I recently got a keg just like that. I did the same thing! I put the gas in the wrong place. It was very hard to put on the "correct" post, but once I got it on and off a couple times it seemed to get easier. At one point I had to use a screw driver to pry it off the post. Good luck!
