Hi All
I was cleaning my secondary yesterday in preparation for batch priming this weekend. I saw a video a while back of a guy dismantling and cleaning all parts of the spigot. So I tried, went well but the main section (see photo) would not budge. So I tried using a kitchen knife, still no luck. I gave up, left it as it was and filled up the 2nd FV with PBW and noticed that the spigot was leaking from exactly that spot. There's no way for me to order one in time so I was wondering if anyone has any advice? It's not leaking very much at all (hardly noticed a change in level of PBW when I woke this morning) so I imagine during transfer from 1st to 2nd FV wouldn't be affected too much but just wondering if it might pose problems with contamination or maybe to much oxygen. I don't know, this is my first ever brew.
Thanks for any help!
