I finished my first keg, and I'm attempting my first cleaning. For the time being, I'm using a small kit that came with my kegerator. The kit has a small squeeze bottle attatched to a hose with a threaded coupler on the end. I'm assuming this coupler attaches to the tower faucet.
So the first step is to unscrew the tower faucet. I use the small faucet wrench that came with the kit, attach it to the faucet, give it a twist and.... nothing. It won't budge. I push harder. Still nothing. At this point, I'm nervous that I'm going to break something. I give it one last tug and "pop" the wrench breaks! (the small tooth that fits into the faucet bent off). And of course, the faucet is still attached.
So... is this normal? Are these faucets usually attached this tightly? I'm not sure if I should buy another wrench and try again, or if I should just get another tower before I end up damaging my bar top trying to get this faucet off (I actually heard the wood creaking under the tower from the amount of torque I was applying to the faucet!).
