I just started kegging. In fact this is my first keg that I'm pulling from. Here's the issue - when I haven't had a pull in a while (more than 30 minutes), and pour a glass - the first glass tastes really bad, like it's picking up flavors from the tap or line or something. If I pour another right after purging the lines with the first glass, it tastes great, like its supposed to. The off flavor is kind of fruity, but not in a good way.
What could be causing the off flavor? Getting warm from sitting in the tubing in the tower? Maybe picking up flavors from the tube? I've been pulling from the keg for a few days now and the flavor hasn't diminished at all, which I'd expect if it were leaching from the liquid tubing.
Any ideas?
