Keg cock up
Keg cock up
Went to my keg and found it had no presure at all it's been leaking through valve so have taken lid off added a bit more sugar put on new cap. 24 hours later have a bit of presure and beer tastes ok. Do you guy's think this will be ok. Thanks Simon C.

Re: Keg cock up
As long as you found and fixed the leak should be fine.
I had a similar issue, so rushed to the LHBS got replacement rubbers then pressurised with the gas bottle, drank the lot it was fine just had to keep topping the pressure up a little more often than usual. Still lasted long enough to drink

Re: Keg cock up
What type of keg and valve are you using Simon ? Reason I ask, if it's a budget barrel and budget cap, I've had problems with the budget cap, the valves are rubbish. Also, did you use a good smear of vaseline on the seal ?
Re: Keg cock up
Thanks for the replys guys it's a king keg 4'' cap it was the valve that was leaking (new seals) put a new cap on and now got lots of presure so just hoping i have not contaminated the beer i will have another test in a week.
