Keg o-rings

[lfc_ozzie]

Hi guys, wanting to get some spare o rings for my kegs and found a old thread listing a site to buy from http://www.oringsandmore.com/silicone-o-rings-size-111-price-for-50-pcs/
It doesn't specify if these are food safe or not though. Is anybody able to help me?
Was going to get all silicone rings as i have heard they last longer and take abuse more. Thanks

Silicone is always food safe. I've got mine from them and they're great!

It is 417 for the corny lid o-ring. Looking on their web site, (not on ebay) they have reviews and a couple have written that this is the replacement for the lid o-ring

Yep I use the 417's for keg lids.

Same, put order in on Sunday, posted on the Monday, seems like a great site.

Wish I'd known about this company a couple of months ago. Bought a few rubber keg lid o-rings from one of my go to retailers and the smell of the rubber is quite strong.
Tried a few things, but the smell is still there.
Just ordered enough of these to replace all my lid o-rings.

Have you tried soaking them in a sink full of dish washing liquid and water and a cup of white vinegar over night? Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. If the smell persists, try soaking them in water in the fridge over night.

 

[Black Devil Dog]

Haven't tried dishwashing liquid, tried vinegar though, soaked them for a few days iirc. Tried soaking them for a few days in hops I'd used for keg hopping an IPA, even left them outside for a few days.

Still have a strong smell.

Only use the kegs with new seals for hoppy ales, not for lagers.

 

[Grott]

Soak in lemon juice for an hour, soak in sodium percarbonate for a couple of hours, rinse and all should be well.

 

[Black Devil Dog]

I'll try lemon juice,that might work.

Soaked them in sodium perc after the vinegar and the hops.

Is this for ball lock kegs?

Assuming so, anyone have a known list for pinlock kegs (the type with the rubber top and bottom)?

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Yeah ball lock mate
