So I transferred my Janet's Brown into a keg a couple weeks ago.
When I was done I put the CO2 on it at about 20PSI and shot some gas into the keg to pressurize the keg and put it in the fridge to chill for carbonating.
A week later I put the CO2 on it and the disconnect leaked. I wiggled it a bit and tweaked it, but couldn't get it to not leak. I put a different disconnect on it and it still leaked. I futzed with everything I could and still can't get it to not leak. I've put both these disconnects on different kegs and they don't leak.
Last weekend I changed the post o-ring and it still leaked. I then pulled out the dip tube and changed that 0-ring and it still leaks. I just had this keg full of a Torpedo clone and had no issues carbonating or serving that beer. When that beer blew I broke the keg down, PBW'd everything, star-san'd everything and then refilled as pictured above and now I can't get the keg to seal.
Someone suggested replacing the post and I may end up giving that a try, but it just seems odd to me that the keg will hold pressure and I can get gas to go into the keg, but I can't leave the disconnect connected without it leaking.
If it matters any, this is an APC (Alloy Products Corporation) pin lock keg and the o-rings I've been using are the ones purchased in bulk from McMaster Carr.
My other thought was to make a jumper and transfer this beer to another keg. Do I need to connect the 2 beer out posts of the 2 kegs, put CO2 on the full keg gas in post and vent empty the keg I'm filling as it fills? If so, what pressure should I use to transfer?
Any help appreciated
