I was filled with excitement and unpacked all the kit ready to bask in the glory of its shiney wonder. All seemed great, until I went to test it.
I've partly filled the keg with water and put the top back on. I turned the keg upside down and nothing came out. I took the lid off, put more water in, closed the lid and turned upside down. This time the water poured out and I mean poured. I've tried about 10 times since then to put the lid on and create a tight seal and only managed it once.
The O ring arounf the lid is intact and looks pretty new. There are a few tiny dents around the lip of the opening on the keg but nothing major.
Am I just being stupid? is there a knack to putting these lids on? or should I be getting in touch with Norm to get the keg replaced?
I was so excited this morning. Now I'm deflated to say the least.
As an extra question: if I do get the hang of closing it, would soda crystals be good for cleaning it out?
