I need to stock up my supply of o-rings to keep on hand for my kegs.
I see there are silicone and Buna-N options - sounds like silicone is preferred because it's softer and compresses more?
I have a variety of kegs - Cornelius, Firestone, ball-lock, and pinlocks converted to ball-lock. I assume the post o-rings are universal/interchangeable, but just want to confirm.
What about the liquid and gas dip tube o-rings - are those universal, or are there different sizes? I use a floating dip tube in several kegs, which means I have replaced the original liquid dip tube with a gas dip tube in the liquid post. I bought the gas tube from AliExpress and I have had some intermittent issues with foamy pours. I wonder if it is not sealing completely and letting gas blow past the o-ring and mix with the beer when pouring?
Here is the product (US $4.3 25% OFF|NEW 2pcs Homebrew Stainless Steel Dip Tube Gas in for Draft Beer Cornelius Corny Keg|homebrew stainless|dip tubehomebrew stainless steel - AliExpress)
I notice it shows both o-rings on the post, but I have only used the smaller one. Maybe I need to try the fatter o-ring to see if I get a better seal
Who's got the best online price on a couple dozen o-rings?
