How often do you all replace the seals on your kegs? Every fill? Every time you change type of beer in the keg? Yearly?
Kegged:
Bottled: Chocolate Orange Stout, Barkshack Sparkling Ginger Mead, Cherry Berliner
Fermenting: Fruit (havent decided yet) Lambic
Considering: Imperial Chocolate Raspberry Stout, Fir Tip Ale

For me, whenever they appear to fail after cleaning.

I have a spare set of keg seals but have not replaced any yet. I have only had my new kegs since about April. I do use keg lube all the time. :cheers3:
Take care, Bluefin.

Once they start to degrade. You can tell once elasticity is gone and they start to crank.
