have i ruined my beer

[dangermouse]

ive just kegged my beer and noticed it was leaking from the tap (kingkeg top tap barrel) so i had to tilt the barrell and stick my hand in to tighten the nut,ive had to do it twice....my hand was in touch with the brew.id sterilized it about 5 mins before but im worried ive buggered me brew up.....what do u guys think,im just hoping i havent ruined it with this 1 mistake ,im hoping to leave it for another 3 weeks!

got no bloody bottles....oh bugger...the fricking things still leaking,its prob just a bit of grit in the seal or something so im gonna clean the tap on my other keg and swap it over.....just shows u how 1 thing can trip u up,i thought i planned this well i cleaned and sterilized everything and now im gonna have to open the bugger up again!

Something wrong with the gaskets (do they use gaskets)?
