Hey all,
I was kegging my pumpkin ale the other night and hit a bit of a snag. During my cleaning process I disassembled my keg, cleaned the parts, sanitzed them, put them back on the keg. I put some starsan in the keg, put the lid on and shook the hell out of it. Then I took the lid off, and put it in starsan while I filled the keg.
Once the keg was full, I went to grab the lid and the gasket was missing. I looked all over the kitchen for it and it was gone. My thought is that it stuck to the top of the inside of the keg when I removed the lid, then fell in. I used a sanitized spoon to try and grab it, but it wasn't stuck to the top any longer, and wasn't floating. The gasket may have some residual keg lube on it.
I decided to RDWHAHB and leave the gasket in the keg, and use a new gasket (thankfully I listened to previous advice and had extra). Do you think I'm in for any trouble on this?

Keg lube is food safe, otherwise it would not be used when kegging beer
