for some reason the first pour out of my keezer is always flat and heavily oxidized (especially if I let it sit for a few days between pours)
After I clear out the lines the fresh beer usually tastes fine. However, I'm concerned that dissolved oxygen sitting in the line is also slowly making its way into the keg. I go to great lenghts to avoid O2 pickup when transfering (purge kegs and do closed transfers).
The beer line I'm currently using is below

I have intertap flow control faucets. My full keezer setup can be seen in this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/...g-for-10-years-behold-my-first-keezer.653230/
No liquid is leaking from the lines or the taps, so I feel like it must either be the lines or O2 that is sneaking in the lines when I seal the faucets.
Do you guys think its the lines or the faucets? Which lines do folks recommend that are impervious to O2?
Thanks!
