Hey all,
Bought a pin-lock keg from a very reputable online store, purged CO2 it came with, & filled it with StarSan. After letting it sit for a few, I tipped it on its head to sanitize the top and, to my surprise, StarSan slowly leaked out of the mouth seal!
Wondering how a keg that held CO2 moments earlier was leaking liquid, I replaced the O-ring with a new, lubed one, but it kept leaking.
So I took another keg of mine, purged the CO2 I had in there for storage, lubed the O-ring, filled it with StarSan, and the same dang thing happened! Even after holding CO2, the mouth leaked liquid.
Any ideas on what could be going on? To quote Jacobim Mugatu (Will Ferrell's character in Zoolander), "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"
Thanks for any advice/insights you can give
