I have an old ale that I want to naturally carb in the keg. Most of my kegs do not seal unless I add pressure to them. How does one naturally carbonate if the keg is not completely sealed? Do you add a little pressure and then bleed it off after a day or so? Or?
 
Add enough pressure to seal the lid and leave it be. The little amount you add will be absored by the beer and shouldn't be noticed as an increase of the carbonation in the finished beer
 
You need it to seal and stay sealed. Add pressure, or new gaskets...
