Hey guys,
I've recently noticed some foaming around my coupler, so when I went to clean my system, I noticed that the washer was split and damaged. I went to the local hardware store and bought a bibb gasket with the same dimensions thinking that I could just replace it with that, but I didn't realize until I got home that it was not a washer made out of the standard neoprene composite, but of a hard rubber that caused my line to foam even worse.
Do these washers typically go out often? Do you usually just stockpile a bunch from MM for such an event? I haven't even been able to retap my keg since last night, and I fear for the freshness of my beer from lack of CO2.
