I have replaced the Braumeister tap with a ball valve. On testing it is leaking so I assume I need some thread tape?
I am going from no chill to chilling so I also assume I will need to take apart and clean each time?
What is your routine with your modified taps?

Yes, a bit of thread tape should stop the leak.
When I fitted my tap I was pulling it apart after every brew to clean it but after a while I realised that if I ensured that I let a hot solution of PBW or Napisan (Sodium Percarbonate) soak overnite then the tap was as clean as I could get it from dismantling it.
My tap is a two piece unit and is relatively easy to pull apart but I do not bother with it any more.
I just ensure that after long soak I give it a good rinse with clean water.
