I kegged my Cherry Pale Ale in my brand new three-gallon keg. It carbonated via sugar primer (no gas tank yet) ad as of a couple weeks ago tasted awesome. The bottled version was nice, but the keg version was creamy and just fantastic.
The keg sat in a fridge at 45 degrees for another two weeks and I finally had a chance to try it again last night. After trying two glasses and trying to place the off taste that I was getting, I suddenly remembered why it seemed familiar. There was a hint of the caustic lime-ish smelling cleaner that originally came in the keg. I had not detected this before but there is now is, ruining my fine ale.
Is this normal? Can you ever really get that crap out of the keg?
