    Did you try and put some Vaseline on it to ensure a good seal? If you can't get it to seal then try and bottle it if you can until you get your barrel sorted. Good luck

    The tap should nip up by turning a little more clockwise, this will just compress the black rubber washer on the seal a bit more, and will hopefully stop the drip for you. The barrels can be under a lot of pressure and the seal is a weak point, it's worth gently turning it it a little with a spanner or pair of grips. The end/nozzle of the tap will then turn independently, twist it clockwise all the way round by hand, until it faces back downwards again
