I have been exclusively kegging for a while. Never fully replaced any lines on my kegerator or basic picnic taps, but always run PBW or line cleaner through (few times a year or as I kill a keg) and then run sanitizer through.
Beer started tasting sour, mostly after taste on my tongue. Sometimes really bad.
I thought it was astringency so I dialed in PH, made sure my crush wasn’t too fine… tried lower ph, higher ph, normal ph…
I have nearly given up on brewing, besides brewing for a friend who claims all my beer is amazing, I usually brew a few gallons for myself with his batch and I hate it.
So today I purchased a keg from a local brewery. I’ve had that beer hundreds of times.
Same. Sour taste.
Is it my lines?
