Title: Too much presure
Post by: Flyin Chickens on January 19, 2009, 20:43

I have my larger in a youngs pressure barrel but it is leeking out the end of the tap (it is as closed as can be).  Should i let some pressure out or will that make the larger flat?

Sounds like a dodgy tap, pressure barrels normally have a pressure releif valve in the lid to rid excess pressure.

I agree with Clampit, dodgy tap probably. This is a perfect excuse to drink it faster so that you can empty the keg and repair the tap  :D
