Better keg/disconnect seal
Question:
I often had the same problem but figured it was due to having too many kegs and the o-rings tended to dry out and leak. A little vasoline cured this and later replaced this with a food-prep product designed for this purpose sold by The Beverage Co., Home Brew Supplier in He has the largest selection of homebrew kits I have ever seen.
After some searching, I found the product I use Keg Lube from Williams Brewing San Leandro, CA "They don’t know what they don’t know." Hurricane Joe Perry (runner & fast person) 1995
Response:
I have pin-lock kegs with plastic quick disconnects. With the o-rings that came with my ‘o-ring replacement kit’, I get CO2 leakage at the keg. With slightly larger 1/2" inner diameter, 11/16" outer diameter rubber o-rings from the hardware store (Builder’s Square), I get a tighter fit and no CO2 leakage. FYI
