Keg Lube

[Newsman]

So everywhere I looked the least expensive keg lube was about $6/oz. I found this site on Etsy where they are offering 4 Oz for $5!

That's what I use. Bought a tube about 5 years ago and I still have plenty left.

I have a tub of "keg lube" somewhere, but I don't know where it is and it's not worth it to me to go hunting for it, when I can get this for $5.

That stuff is awesome, you can wash it off with really hot water.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to check this stuff out. Morebeer sells it for the same price:

Interesting. Would have loved to support a sponsor

4.95 is the MSRP. You can even order it direct from the manufacturer but their shipping rates are expensive. I like that it melts at 120. The stuff I have is about impossible to get off your hands.

I do not think Morebeer is a sponsor. However, this is what I use as i am lazy and i hate goopy stuff on my hands/ fingers. One can has lasted me a while.
I also like for a light spray in my spike cf5 gasket as well keg seals, etc.

Yep. You're right. Not sure how sponsorship here works, i.e if the potential sponsor is approached or if they have to initiate contact, but I would think they should be a sponsor.

I have some of the McLaughlin from that link and I cannot, for the life of me figure out how to clean it off anything. I put some on my keg lid and now that o-ring is trash unless I can figure out how to get rid of it.

Yep. Had the same issue. That's why the CIP stuff is great - it cleans relatively easily.

it's just food grade silicone lubricant. many sources. One tube will last years or decades.
