DavidS23 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi can anyone tell me i have been using standard o rings on my keg post lately and have not come across any problems ,i would like to know do you have to use food grade o rings or not perhaps i could coat the others with a food grade lube as a precaution . Or is it not a concern, price of standard o rings 11cents i change them every time i fill a keg food grade o rings from the brew shop up to $1 each . If there r health issues then i will go back to the food grade. regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 To be honest for what it is worth I would just use food grade o-rings and you shouldn't have to change them for a long time so they will work out a lot cheaper in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Kep post orings only need replacing once they have degraded to a point where they are not effective. I have 5 kegs on the go (been kegging for 11 years) all with the original orings. Just use a small amount of food grade lubricant on them. Mind you, I've replaced most of the access hatch orings and the poppet valves (in the posts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
