Can Perlick faucets be used to dispense home brew soda or is there a better option to dispense my homemade soda? Does anyone else out there do this?
The reason I ask is I got my kegerator built a couple weeks ago and brewed up a root beer. I am using a new Perlick faucet, but sometimes it leaks after I use it. I tightened down the faucet's bonnet nut and that helped some (on both my faucets these were a little loose when I got them).
But sometimes it still leaks. Could this be the sticky sugar messing up that floating o-ring in the Perlick faucet? Could it be that the soda needs to be around 35PSI? I do have 30 foot of 3/16" vinyl tubing, but when there is no flow the pressure is 35PSI...
