Did my third batch, a Brewer's Best Robust Porter, and I thought that I HAD to do a secondary fermentation. Therefore, I did my primary fermentation in my bottling bucket. Now I am having some mold issues inside the spigot and it has some funky smells.
I know this is from inadequate cleaning (despite washing and rinsing), and the spigot needs to be taken apart. I thought it would be as simple as pulling the red valve part out then pulling out the part that rotates, but I haven't had any luck. For 2.50 buying a new one is definitely an option, but I wondered if you guys had any advice.
Thanks!
PS: The batch is bottled and everything is fine, but I want to disassemble and clean my spigot.
