Always kegged and only issues I've had with sour/vinegar beer is due to poor fermentation. Since I've corrected those issues, I'm at a loss for this one.
Kegged an irish ale and for the first time, I let it naturally carb with 2.5 oz of priming sugar for two weeks. Put it in the kegerator. Waited two days, and I served myself great tasting beer. (so great, that I now will naturally carb most, if not all, future batches). Tried my Holiday Ale and Hef the same day and they were also good. Tried my Irish last night after being in the kegerator for 2 weeks and it's slightly sour. Today is still sour. Hef is sour. Holiday Ale doesn't taste right. I thought the Hef was going a little sour before I put in the Irish Red, but I had a cold and thought it was due to that.
I have a splitter on my CO2 line, with one line going to Holiday Ale, and the other line is split again to the Hef and Irish. I use BLC after each keg for the lines, and run lots of hot water afterwards.
What is going on? What would cause one beer to sour in the keg (no signs of infection at all), and seemingly pass it on to my other kegs?
