I have a keg of Hefe that I thought might have an infection. The other two kegs of that batch are fine, but this one is tasting funky.
When I would go to pour, the first pint would taste off, almost like a vinegar flavor. The next pint, poured that night, would be almost normal. Odd, almost like it was the picnic tap and hose.
So, I cleaned the tap and hose. I used to clean them fairly regularly, but have slacked off.
BIG MISTAKE! The inside of the picnic tap had a bio film that was like a piece of tape. GROSS!
Turned out two of my four picnic taps were nasty, I even had to pitch the hose.
Clean those suckers, especially in the summer.
