Hello, and thanks ahead for any assistance. I brewed 10 gallons and kegged it into two 5 gallon kegs, sealed them up and set them in a cool (72 degrees) closet for about 14 days. Then I bought a kegerator, because I am backwards I suppose.
I tapped the first keg today, first applying the ball lock on the gas side. Something was amiss and it started leaking beer everywhere. Repeat this process three times before I thought to put plumber's tape around the threads before screwing on the barbed end. This stopped that leak. I then proceeded to make the same mistake on the beer side once before fixing that leak.
Fast forward everything is working, there's 12psi coming from the tank.
My question, after all of that nonsense, is did I hurt any part of the beer with the early leaks or should I be OK? I know it's a general-ish question, and again thanks for any help.
