Leaking pressure valve

[JONJAMJAR]

Right o folks,

1st beer for 2 year and problems already!

Had my brew in the keg (youngs) for a few days now, couple in the warm for the priming and a couple in the cold. Just pulled a tiny bit off to see how its looking and its as flat as...

Ive given it a squirt of gas to see if its a leak and it looks like the rubber seal round the pressure release valve has perished causing it to slowly de-presurise.

Shall I just replace the seal, reprime and bring in the warm for a coupe of days then back into the cold? Starting to wish i'd gone down the bottle route now!

Personally I would change the o ring and use gas, that way you can drink it faster. :

I replace all the seals and would re-prime yes, but bring it in the warm for 2 weeks so it can secondary ferment fully, then back in the cold.

The seals are only around 40p each so a couple of £'s would have your keg as good as new, i've just done this on my new second hand keg!

You definitely need more than 2 days in the warm for the priming - more like 2 weeks.

Thanks for the advice chaps, i'll do as you recommend.

Pitstop on the way back tomorrow. :thumb:
