As the topic title says it's been leaking at the tap seal. It seems to be when pressure builds. I released a bit of pressure from the top cap to combat this and it gets better for a while and then starts seeping/leaking a bit again. Could this be due to me not using the supplied barrel cap (I...

Hi. I gave in to temptation the other night and went to pour myself some evil dog ipa from my pressure barrel. Only about half a point came out before it trickled to a stop. When I unscrewed the cap it started flowing out. What am I doing wrong? Surely that can't be right!!
