    Default Lubricant use

    I ordered a tin of pump and probe lube from MM, should it be used on any gaskets other than those on the coupler? Faucet perhaps?

    I have been using a thin film of vaseline on my coupler seals and the gasket on the keg for the past 2 years. some might say it will affect the taste and affect the seals, heres to all the naysayers, NOT.

    I'd heard that Vaseline might affect the taste (apparently not), but I've been using the food-grade coupler grease on my faucet with great results...no more sticky faucets!
