Just got the Bevlex glass lined barrier lines from Birdman Brewing because I was getting vinyl taste from my pvc lines. It worked from the very 1st pour, no taste at all.
Here's the problem. My beer out ball lock, quick-disconnects have 1/4" diameter barbs while the Bevlex is 3/16" ID. Unlike vinyl tubing, you can't just soak it in hot water and ram the barb in.
I took 2 inches of vinyl line, a 3/16" inner diameter (male-male) barb, and hose clamps and made a Frankenstein monster adapter. The 3/16" Bevlex won't even go all the way onto the barb.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
