I recently purchased some used corny kegs from eBay and reconditioned them. Now, one of the kegs is leaking from the bottom of the gas-in post, and I don't know what to do.
They arrived holding pressure--they all had some really gross soda syrup in the bottom and bled off a lot of nauseating-smelling gas. I cleaned the kegs with PBW and replaced all the O-rings with new ones from Brewmaster's Warehouse, and I also keg lubed them.
Today, I was ready to keg my first beer, so I filled one of the kegs with Star-San, took off the posts to soak them in Star-San, then re-assembled the keg. When putting the lid on under 10psi, bubbles started appearing at the base of the gas post. Uh oh.
I reseated the post--no luck. I added more keg lube--no luck. I got a post and dip tube from another keg--still bubbles.
So, what can I do now? Is this keg ruined?
