    So the lid o-ring fell into the beer in my corny and obviously instantly sunk to the bottom. I don't see an issue but was wondering if this ever happened to anyone else, or what your thoughts are. Luckily I always have spares, popped on a new one and hopefully am good to go. Thanks.

    as long as it was sanitized, i don't see an issue. Never had that happen though. The o-ring sits fairly tight on the lid.

    It has come close to happening to me on more than one occasion - typically when handling the lid in one hand and a dry hop bag in the other.

    Happened to me, retrieved when keg was empty. Dont worry about it.

    The keg had been pressurized for a few days and when I removed the lid the ring actually stuck to the underside of the lid mount on the keg itself, then fell in as I tried to manipulate the lid and grab the ring...I think just s**tluck!! Thanks.
