JonW, I don't know how you use vinyl hose. I used some initially on my build as per your suggestion due to the door. Could taste the hose in all my beers. Had to replace it with hard barrier lines. Im thinking I will pick up a bunch of 90 deg SS elbows to help organize the hard lines.
Some vinyl hose is rated for beverage and works just fine. However, others can give you a vinyl off flavor. Where did you get yours from?
