Stuck Perlick???

Tue Dec 09, 2008 1:26 pm

So i was happily tapping another keg of Lost coast brown when i realized that my perlick faucet is completely stuck!!! After the last keg i took the faucet apart and soaked it in PBW, let it dry, soaked in StarSan then reassembled. After i put it back together 2 weeks ago it was working fine. but now the flow control piece inside the faucet is stuck.

Any ideas on what happened??? Should a soak in hot PBW fix it?

Warm water should be enough to break it free. Take it apart and clean it again. This time when you assemble it, put a little keg lube on the o-ring. It shouldn't stick again.
