Went to pour myself a beer last night and my tap is stuck!!
I could only just move it but it was bloody hard.. Do I have to pull it apart and clean it? It's a Celli (I think that show its spelt..)
I hope it can be fixed...

Pull it apart and make sure you clean it well and get some parliq or the like to lube the necessary parts.
I do this to my taps every few weeks.

No sorry, you will have to get that from your LHBS. Any food safe lubricant will work, I just like the parliq stuff myself

Stuck tap normally indicates you aren't drinking enough........

Agreed...However, telling the missus that I need to drink more would not give a favourable response..(insert blackeye smiley here...!!)

G'day DJ - I had a stuck Ventmatic truflo tap the other day - an overnight soak in some hot water did the trick.
Cheers,
