Hey all,
I'm having this extremely annoying issue that I cannot seem to figure out.
Ever since moving into a new house I have not had one batch of drinkable beer from the keg. It's really hard to describe the taste but it's slightly sour and maybe a tiny bit metallic. I find the beer to be not drinkable. Every batch ends up with the same flavor after sitting in the keg for a week.
The facts:
-Used to make fantastic batches with the same setup
-Moved with the kegerator setup
-Had the water tested and it came back with no major flags. Water tastes great.
-Keg cleaning/sanitation has not changed. If anything they are cleaner as I now take them apart to clean since this started happening.
-I usually set it and forget it (psi)
-Last batch I burst carbed (30psi for 2 days, down to 12psi) and the beer was delicious for about 5 days, then I started noticing the off taste. Another week later and I can't even stomach it
-Replaced everything on the gas side except for the regulators. Hoses, QDs, fittings, new CO2 tank, new CO2 source, even the clamps
-Replaced liquid lines, thoroughly cleaned taps
I am getting ready to keg a new batch and I'm afraid it's going to take on the same flavor. So I ask, is it possible to have an infection in the regulators? I can't think of anything else it could be.
