Michael Brewblé Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Recently my Brewflo has started leaking (dripping) from the tap when connected to a keg. I’ve tried lubing up the tap mechanism but it just doesn’t seem to be quite adequately pinching off the beer line any more. Anyone seen this before, and fixed it?

Michael Brewblé Posted November 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Didn’t in the end, think I sorted it. The FloCon was kind of sticking so I lubed it up with some olive oil. No more leaks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2-Bier2 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Hi all, Thought I'd reach out to the wisdom of the community for this one. This year I've been getting leaks in my Beerdroid tap - the first was in ~April, the second this week just gone. It seems that the leaks have been caused by a split in the internal rubber of the tap, along one of the fold lines created when the tap is turned on or off (see pictures - one from today and one from April). I notified Brewart about this when it first occurred in April, and they were great and promptly replaced the tap. I've also just this evening told them about the latest leak. Btw, I got through about 10 brews after the tap was replaced before noticing the latest leak. Each time I've been sanitising the equipment with StellarSan Sanitizer, diluted as per the instructions. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there something that I'm possibly doing/not doing that is causing this or at least contributing to it? All thoughts welcome. With Christmas just 6 weeks away, I'm rather keen to get a few more kegs underway, as I'm sure you can all appreciate 🙂 Many thanks, and happy brewing!

I'd hate to say it but it just looks like bad luck than anything else. It definitely won't be because you're cleaning or sanitising. That is bad luck or you are cleaning it with a steak knife...so lets just say its bad luck. Absolutely nothing you are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've contacted Brewart and they kindly replaced it very quickly. They also didn't identify anything odd about my cleaning process. I'll chalk this up to bad luck. Very happy with the tech support at Brewart btw. Happy brewing everyone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
