I've thought I've had an odd taste for a while now, and today I had to track down a leak, so ALL my gas lines are on the table. I can smell the plastic that the gas lines are made of on my hands...and it's the same off flavor I have in the beer.
It only comes through in VERY light beer and apfelwein, but it's there.
These are Gas Line from AHS, so it's not like I am using hose from the local gas station.

Any ideas? I'm rinsing them with PBW and giving a good rinse with hot water, but this seems abnormal to me.
 
Odd... I bought mine from Midwest, but, never had any off flavors. Youd think after pumping suds through them that anything would get rinsed out, eventually. REALLY odd that you can taste the GAS line? Not the beverage line??
