After tapping this last batch of beer, I sometimes have problems getting the beer to flow from the tap.

When this happens, I turn on the tap and nothing comes out. Usually after a few on/off cycles of the tap, it starts to flow and then all is well until it sits again.

I have taken off the faucet when this happens (unscrewed it) so I know it is not the faucet. I can't see where else the problem could be.

Any ideas?
 
I get this when it gets cold and the taps in my garage freeze up.

If you like to set your temp cold, you may be icing up the corny.
Or be making ice beer!

That is a good theory! I have turned up the temp and will see what happens. Thanks!
 
+1 on the temp; beer lines are a prime suspect as well, depending on your cleaning techniques etc.
