Default Sticky Taps

Have you ever went to draw yourself a brew and the tap is stuck? Seems like I am always cleaning my taps. If i let a beer go a couple days or more without drinking it they get stuck. It seems like the worst ones are the ones that have the best head retention. I try and clean my lines every two weeks so here latley i just pour hot water on them when i am in between and party on.

Consider switching to Perlick forward sealing taps. Won't happen again.

just take a squirt bottle and starsan . Spray up into the faucet and it will rinse any residual beer.

I sometimes don't hit a tap for well over a week and it is never sticky on a perlick.
