so, I hook up my two brand new shiny Perlick 525SS's and do a test run with a solution of star san. Everything looks good. I hook up my two kegs, pull a sample from the first faucet. Perfect, no leaks. Pull a sample form the other tap, drip, drip drip. Pulled the beer line from the keg, removed the faucet, cleaned it out, tested for leaks, none found, reinstalled, pull sample. No leaks. Went back to the other one, pulled sample...drip, drip, drip. This process went on back and forth for close to an hour before I gave up and installed my old 'sticky' kegworks faucets. Pulled a sample from each, no leaks. Tried an hour later, drip, drip drip. WTF!!!
The drips are not the typical couple of drips your might get after pouring a beer, this is a steady drip. If i pull the beer line, the drips stop, attach the beer line they start again.
It seems if i remove the faucets and have them in my hand, I can never get them to leak. Its only when attached to the shank (if thats the right word) do I have this problem. Can the faucet be over tightened enough to cause something like this. Has anyone else run across this?
