Hi, first post here. I have an 18 cu.ft. fridge that I converted to a double tap kegerator. it has worked great for almost a year. it's out in my garage. i normally clean everything every 2 weeks as recommended, but here lately, I'll get mold around the front of the faucet. what i have is this:
the small button looking piece on the front of the faucet that moves in and out with the action of the handle has been growing mold around it after maybe 2 days of cleaning and pouring. is that normal? it hasn't happened before. i'm also getting mold inside the spout, but that's where the beer flows. i have bud light on one side and Longboard Lager on the other side. it's happening on both taps. any suggestions? i'm wondering if i'm going to have to remove the faucets and plug the shanks after each use with these:
i was just going to buy some spout plugs, but that won't help the mold around the front, will it?
will the spout plugs make things worse? should I just go with the shank plugs instead? would getting SS faucets help? i get green corrosion on the backside of the faucet and my keg coupler now. i figured that was due to the copper in the brass of the fittings. i'm tempted to buy all new SS faucets and keg couplers, but that will be $135 for all 4 pieces. not sure if it's worth the money. any opinions? TIA
