I cleaned, sanitized and pressurized a corny keg about a month ago.

Turns out the pressure release valve was leaky, which I replaced. Keg holds pressure fine now.

Think it needs re-sanitizing before filling?

Thanks
 
Yeah, I would. It only takes like 3 minutes to dump in Starsan, swirl it around and dump it back out. Make sure to put some keg lube on the O-rings.

If you used Starsan, it's only effective if the surface is still wet with starsan when you use it. If it's not still wet with starsan you'll want to re-sanitize anyway. You can just leave a little bit of starsan in the empty, closed keg while it's sitting idle.
