O Ring Falls Into Keg...

[balysomi]

While pulling the top of the keg off, the o ring fell into the keg to the bottom of the beer. New to kegging so question is, leave it or sanitize arm and go in after it?? thanks

This has happened to me. I left it in and just sanitized and used a spare one. However, if you have no spare, then I guess you have to go get it. Then, order some spare parts.

You know this has never happened to my but you have now added to my list of brewing paranoias every time I open a keg now

LMAO, I've had this almost happen a few times due to keg lube really sticking that ring to the top when I remove the lid. Yeah as mentioned, if you have a spare simply leave it in and use another o-ring. If you don't have a spare, well then there's the answer to that!

Im glad you posted this because it just happened to me. Luckily i keep a bunch of extra keg parts around and i quickly sanitized and threw a new one on. So nothing to worry about with the oring sitting on the bottom for a month or so?

Thanks all! Glad to know I am not the only one dropping orings in the keg! Fortunately I had a spare so the other will be drunk at the bottom for awhile!
