Infected lines?

I have two kegs of beer in my kegerator -- both have similar off flavors. Of the 8 kegs in my keezer, the only two hooked up are the two that I believe are infected.

I use flare fittings -- so when I don't have a pin-lock connector attached, they the tubes are just laying exposed to the chest freezer enviornment. Previously I haven't sanitized the inside of these lines before adding on my connector and then attaching it to the keg. What's the likelihood that a baddy has gotten into my lines and then infected my two kegs of beer?

Good chance the lines are infected. Not likely they infected the kegs. I flush and sanitize my lines before changing kegs.

What about the gas side?

Do you have check valves on the gas side? Beer can back up into gas lines and create issues. Some recommend adding a Hepa filter to your gas line. Recently suggested by Claudis on HBT to use a HEPA-VENT and HEPA-CAP in case there is crap in the CO2 tank that can ruin your beer.
