I clean all my keg stuff after every empty keg. I soak the keg in Oxiclean and scrub it out with a sponge. I soak all the keg accessories in BLC including any rubber parts (top, posts, dip tubes, faucet, connectors, etc). I run BLC through the line and let that soak for 5 to 10 minutes then I rinse everything. Before I connect a new keg I run sanitizer through the lines and make sure everything is sanitized.
I tasted my reading sample and it was great. 2 weeks on CO2 in the keg and now I am getting a slight off flavor. It is slight so I can't pin point it yet. Even with the way I clean everything, could my lines need to be replaced? Like I said I do clean after each keg but once in a great while I will have a keg last 5 to 6 months depending on the beer. Could leaving the beer in the lines that long cause problems?
