Today I took 2 Cornies that have been conditioning to the garage to top off with Co2. When I pulled the valve to check their pressure, the Pale Ale keg had ZERO pressure. I hit it with 30psi's and sprayed StarSan over all the fittings. The gas fitting was leaking from the center nipple. The keg has been sitting in the den since 10/18. So probably not under any pressure for two weeks (with a leak that might of let in air). I changed the fitting and hit with 30 psi. Good chance this effected my beer?
 
Chances of air getting in are slim. Just consider it triple fermented. I bet it is great.
 
Yeah, I bet you'll be fine too. Use some keg lube on the top of your poppets from now on, that's what I do.
