Just got a keg setup and I have a few questions before starting.
1. I've got used pin lock kegs. They came pressurized. I've taken them apart to clean and will sanitize. The keg seemed to hold pressure fine with the current rings.They sent a new set of O-rings ... should I replace them now? When/why do you use keg lube?
2. There is a depression in the bottom (inside) of the keg that I think is intended to be the place for the beer out tube to fit. However, it currently doesn't fit there, it's to the side. Can/should I bend the tube a bit so it fits into this space?
3. Filling. Sometimes on 5 gallon batches I end up with slightly more than 5 gallons. How full can you fill a keg? All the way to the top? Or up to the gas-in tube?
Thanks!
