Hi all,
I've been reading a bit on this topic and found several references that new keg lids tend to seal up well with old kegs.
I've got a couple corny's (Firestone VI's) that I can't get a good seal, even with brand new O-rings. That leaves me looking at $5 oversized gaskets or buying new lids. I don't mind spending $16 or whatever for new lids, but was hoping for some folks with experience on the subject to chime in.
Anyone just bought new lids when they couldn't get a seal with the original lid, with new O-ring, and found success? I lean to the new lids to also get a fresh PRV in the process and hopefully have a lid that in the future only needs standard o-rings to freshen up.
