Got a kit (Woodforde's Wherry) complete with equipment for Xmas and started it off a couple of weeks ago. All was going well until I transferred it from the FV to the keg. As soon as it was full the tap started passing slightly in the closed position. There's a little drop about every 5 seconds.
For the time being I've lain the keg on it's side with the tap at the top.
In this position I can replace the tap - if I had a replacement - but if I have to wait for one to be delivered will secondary fermentation have started meaning I'll lose any pressure? Maybe it's a moot point because if it's passing in the closed position there isn't a complete seal anyway?
Thanks in advance.
Edit ... no idea why it posted twice and I can't seem to delete one of them. Not my afternoon it seems
