I found Poly tubing at Farm and Fleet for .17 cents each. It's a local store so no shipping. I bought some .170 ID tubing (.07 cents each) and that is just too darn small to get over any of the 1/4" fittings. So I'll have to go back and pick up the actual 3/16 (.185) tubing from there to give it a try. This would be a cheap and almost plastic-taste free way to work my system.

Maybe it would have been easier to just use ss tubing.

Lets not forget that peoples sensitivity to contaminates taste vary greatly.

I've thought about SS tubing but just figured it would be too expensive. I'll have to price it though.

Remember you'll only have to buy it once.

Interesting. I'm new to kegging and I'm just starting to get my set up together. I have a chest freezer now and I've got four 5gal cornies on the way but I've get to pick up anything else. I'm wondering if SS lines would make sense. I know that they would be harder to route and that they wouldn't offer up much in the way of flexibility in the long run in terms of changing the set up, but I'm wondering what your experience has been like using SS.
Off flavors? Maintaining them? Others?

I use plastic in my kegerator at the moment, and it works well for me at the moment, so I haven't had much cause to change it out. I use ss for my portable setup wrapped around the corny in a small igloo cooler for heat transfer purposes only. But there is no off flavour issue, and maintenance is just BLC if necessary.
