    Leaky Perlicks

    I'll have to try the bonnet adjustment. I know at one point I had them all too tight but I've loosened them up to "snug" now. I'll try dropping the pressure this weekend and see what happens.

    Leaky Perlicks

    Well, I'm actually at 12 psi now as near as I can tell on my gauge. I was around 8 before. The person I got the lead from said the dividing line for him was 10 psi. But, yeah...pressure too low apparently results in slow drips/leaks.

    Looks like the results are in. It's been a short week and I've not had a leak since turning my pressure up to 12 psi. Problem solved and thanks for all the support.

    Leaky Perlicks

    I might have found the solution - or I should say, someone else found it. I was following a thread on Facebook the other evening - the Home Brewers group. Long story short, there was a thread asking what would you replace your tops with. It turned into a Perlicks vs Intertap session but...

    I normally don't dry hop...haven't for a year or so.

    Leaky Perlicks

    No. My tastes run to English Ales. Nothing uber-hoppy or fruity. Closest I come is my recipe for Sweet Stout but it's pretty clean, too.

    I buy sets of O-rings from here. Never had a problem with them in the past...and I usually replace my gaskets about once a year. Do you happen to have a link to them at Perlick?

    Leaky Perlicks

    Recirc pump with BLC for 20 minutes followed by a rinse for the lines. The taps are removed, dropped in the BLC solution for a few minutes, then disassembled and scrubbed with a brush. Keg disconnects get the same treatment. This last time, I also replaced all the gaskets when I reassembled...

    Leaky Perlicks

    I've had the leak at the handle seal before but usually because I've tightened them down too tight. The problem I'm having now is the "very slow drip" like you referenced above. I've found that if I open and close the tap very quickly (but gently) a couple of times, that will usually keep it...

    Leaky Perlicks

    I've got some Perlick 525 taps that I've been happily using for several years. A few months ago, I started having problems with them not completely closing ... resulting in wasted/spilled beer, early morning floor mopping, etc. I've replaced all the gaskets, I've taken everything apart and...
