A common problem if you don’t pour a beer daily with the “standard” faucets (some people call them “taps”). If you don’t want to buy any new parts, just make sure you clean your faucet regularly, another option is to upgrade to a forward sealing faucet (which is what I did), they never have any issues with getting stuck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Usually the piston inside the tap connection needs to be cleaned. Close the co2 and untap the keg. Unscrew the tap handle and take it apart down to the spring,piston and gaskets. Take a green scrubby or steel wool and polish up the sides of the piston, while all other hardware is soaking in soapy water. Then reassemble in reverse order. If you don't use the keg every day, the sugar from the beer will size the piston in the tap hardware and make it impossible to pour. Make sure you clean the tap Everytime you change out kegs.
