Best Lube

What is the best lube to get to keep the faucet from sticking when not in use for a few days.
Something that is easy to use, no taste, etc.


Thanks

The typical assshat responce would be KY...but

for food service use Taylor Co. make what is known as Taylor Lube, this is a food service grade vegetable grease.

If your LHBS doesn't carry it look at a food service or restaurant supply company. Many of the have a "will call" desk so you could get it cash and carry.

I use this on the keg gaskets. Using forward sealing faucets (i.e. Perlick or Ventamatic) and cleaning my lines with every keg change I have yet to lube or have a sticky faucet. An overnight soak in PBW also does magic to clean up the goop that builds up in the dispensing chamber.
