So I built a new keezer with four taps. Used stainless steel shanks, peerless faucets, a new Kegco secondary regulator with 4 gauges, red food grade pvc gas hose, 3/16” ID ultra barrier silver beverage line hooked up to 10lb food grade C02 bottle (newly acquired from Airgas) I moved 2 kegs from the old kegerator (1-cocoa porter and 1 Belgian brown ale) both which tasted great in the old kegerator. I added a keg of Two Hearted clone that just finished fermenting and force carbonated. The brown ale tasted fine and so did the coco porter for a few days. The Two hearted also tasted solid in carbonated, but once carbonated I started to notice a metallic taste. The same metallic taste was found in the other two beers as well now, but not quite as pronounced. I cleaned with BLC and rinsed all the lines once hooked up.
Logic tells me something is off on the gas. Even though it is food grade has anyone ever run into an issue with a food grade C02 causing a metallic taste? I tried pouring a few ounces to clear the line then pour a fresh glass and I still get the same taste. Could it be the PVC lines, the shanks? Is there something I am missing or does anyone have any ideas?
