Leaking pressure barrel

rubo

Ive transfered my beer into the pressure barrel and its started to leak. Its only been in there for about a week and begun to drip from where the tap is attached to the barrel....is this a fault with the seal / barrel itself? Not sure what to do  now, at this rate im not gonna have any left by the time its ready!!!

Hi rubo, this is a fairly common thing and can happen after transit or in use sometimes, the good news is it can be easily fixed, a link to a feature on it with things to fix it is here below, it basically wants a tighten by turning it clockwise with a pair of grips or a spanner using the plastic 'lugs';
