OK so I'm about to start kegging. what is the best method to check for leaks? Is it using soapy water? This is how I test for leaks im everything else, but everything else isn't precious home brew
 
Soapy water can’t get into your lines. That’s how I check lines. Some people use Starsan.
 
If you coat all the connections in soapy water you should be able to see leaks.

I have tried both starsan and soapy water. Starsan doesn't show bubbles as easily for these tired eyes so I stick with soapy water as even the tiniest leaks show easily. Just be sure to keep it out of the beer and with a closed pressurized system that's pretty easy.
