Keg Leak at Coupler

[jc23]

I just purchased a new kegerator, and taped my first keg (Killians if that makes a difference). I have my pressure gauge set to about 11psi. After tapping the keg everything seemed to work properly and my beer was pouring well with what seemed to be the proper amount of foam. A few hours later, I noticed the floor was wet around the kegerator, and when I opened the door I saw that there was a ring of foam overflowing around the coupler which was spilling over the keg and ultimately out of the kegerator. Is there anything that would cause this that I should fix/adjust, or should I just attempt to re-tap the keg? Or is it possible that the keg itself has a problem at the coupler?

Thanks for your help.

It could be the gasket where the beer line connects to the coupler itself. That often gets left out. If it is actually coming out of the coupler/keg connection then you'd have to probe around a bit more to see where it is coming from.

Yeah, that was the problem. I found it the next day when i cleaned off the coupling and watched the leak more closely. Everything is working great now.

Thanks for the help.
