Sealing a Cornelius Keg (Homebrewing)

Cornelius (corny) kegs are the most common way for Homebrewers to keg their homebrew. Although kegging homebrew is much more convenient than bottling in many ways, the initial dive into kegging can be a little intimidating.

One common problem is getting the lid to seal properly. Just clamping the lid shut won't do it. You need to apply upward pressure to get it to seat. This involves hooking up the gas at a good amount of pressure and pulling up on the lid.

I demo that here.
