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.

is this parliq stuff easily available?? Bunnings or the like??

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

thanks Kev, appreciate it..

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.

In Bundaberg that works the other way.
