can one use vasaline instead? I figure if vasaline can go on a therometer to go up the um.. well you know, then it should be sanitary to use as a lube for kegs?
a lifetime supply of lube can be had for $4.5, and hot water will rinse it off.

A poster in another thread stated that vaseline dissolves/breaks down rubber over time. Can anyone confirm or deny that from personal experience?
Also, is there any risk that if keg lube were to come into contact with your beer that it would kill head retention?
Of all the brewing-related things you could save money on, I don't think keg lube is really a good one. As some others have said, given the amount you use a $3-$5 tube of keg lube will be enough to last for years.
Why you'd want to cheap out and use vaseline or KY or anything else is beyond my comprehension. You probably spend more on toothpaste, for crying out loud.
My sarcasm is lost to you. Maybe somebody else will get it.
I bought a container of faucet lube from the hardware store. It is made for sink faucets and is food grade safe.

On a side note, Vaseline and KY cost the same as a tube of keg lube so you're not really saving any money.
Hmmmmmm.......Now I am wondering if I can use my Keg Lube on something else........
