Hello,
yesterday transferred a Belgian triple from bucket into a 9 litre plastic pressure barrel, and added the sugar for second fermentation. It's been leaking at the join between the tap and the body of the barrel. tried to stop this by wrapping several layers of tape around the join - this worked okay with beer in my 5 gallon barrel.
However, I've still lost about a litre in 24 hours. Has anyone any tips on sealing, before I lose the lot ?
