Hi guys,
I've just purchased by first corny keg. I switched it out for a new(used) one because liquid leaked put when I turned it upside down with the lid secured while cleaning. The owner of the home brew store tested the replacement for leaks and said it was ok but after racking my cider into it and securing the lid, its hissing a little and clearly isn't completely airtight. I'm wondering if it's only airtight when it's under pressure or if all there kegs are not good and my ciders gonna go to waste. It's in the fridge cooling down because he said it needs to be cold before adding the c02. I literally know nothing about kegging so I'm lost. It just doesn't make sense that its leaking but it didn't at the LHBS. I'm hoping that once I apply the c02 tomorrow it'll be ok.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks
