keg seals
How often do you all replace the seals on your kegs? Every fill? Every time you change type of beer in the keg? Yearly?

Re: keg seals
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. 
Take care, Bluefin.

Re: keg seals
Once they start to degrade. You can tell once elasticity is gone and they start to crank.
