I keep a keg of sparkling water for the girlfriend, but after seemingly exhaustive efforts to thoroughly clean the entire system, the water still has a slight beer taste.
So far, I've thoroughly cleaned the keg including disassembling and cleaning the posts and poppets, have brand new beverage and gas lines, disassembled and cleaned the quick disconnects, disassembled and cleaned the shank and faucet, soaked all the parts for over a day in B-brite and replaced all seals/o-rings with new ones. Is there anything I missed? I thought perhaps beer flavors were being transfered among the kegs via the gas lines, but the ball valve connected to each keg has a check valve so the flow of gas is only one way.
If this doesn't work out, I'll go back to making the sparkling water in 2ltr soda bottles with the carbonator cap. Only, she would prefer it in a non-plastic bottle. As of yet, I haven't been able to find a glass bottle with "soda threads." Does anyone know of such a thing? Thanks!
