Hey guys,
I just kegged a dry-hopped SMASH yesterday only to come down and find a small puddle of beer next to my keg in the morning. Turns out there was a small leak coming from the poppet of the liquid out side. I depressurized the keg and grabbed a 12-point gas post (which is all I had on hand), purged the keg with CO2, and there appear to be no leaks coming out of the gas post that's on the out side. I understand the posts (Gas-in and Liquid out) are different on corny kegs, but for the sake of not exposing my beer to any more oxygen, can I just serve this keg out using a gas quick disconnect on the out side until I empty it? Are there any issues with leakage of CO2 (I would imagine not. I sprayed the liquid out side with star san and didn't notice any bubbling. I'm hoping I can just serve this keg out the way it is and fix the issue later. I know using a liquid QD on a gas post can be a b* to get on and off, so I was just thinking of using a gas QD on the liquid out side (again just until I serve this keg out) Thoughts?
