Are there actually any decent taps out there that don't drip?! I've got 4 pressure barrels (3 standard and a King Keg top tap) all with different taps and all of them drip, not massive amounts, don't get me wrong, but enough to be a pain in the arse! It's not all from the barrel/tap seal either, some are from joins on the tap itself, are the sparkler taps any better? Don't want to shell out for 4 of those if they're going to be crap as well?!!!
 
Replaced one of the leaking taps with a new one the same that came with my king keg and have just had a call from the wife saying it's leaked all over the kitchen while I've been at work, rapidly coming to the conclusion that they're all fu**ing crap.
 
I've found that King Keg PB's are brilliant, but the taps are useless.
My personal view is the cheapo Youngs taps on my basic PB's are the best. Not had one fail on me yet and no drips.
 
I have just got a brewgas sparkler tap and fitted it to my King keg and no leaks yet....
Got it off ebay... was not cheap, £16
 
I have 3 KKegs all with sparkler top taps. Fingers crossed they have been perfect and never leaked. They pull a great pint too
