All beer in kegs...check!
I do have one concern. One of the keg lids when clamped down, clamped down really nicely with a lot of force needed to clamp it shut. The other keg however, clamped the lid with barely any effort at all and when clamped down all the way, I could still slightly move the lid back and forth a bit. This was still without CO2 in the kegs. Both kegs are used but have been rebuilt with all new parts. I used keg lube on both as well.
My one hope is, when I added CO2 to the keg it seemed to tighten the lid to the keg. Is that indeed the case? Does adding CO2 put pressure on the lid helping with the seal?
I guess the worst that can happen is I lose $16 worth of CO2...
