I poured a glass of IPA that had been in the keg for 3 days and it tasted very harsh. I'm fairly certain the beer is fine. I have the Accuflex Bev-seal lines, but they have been sitting unused and open after being cleaned and sanitized for nearly a year. The taste to me is chemical, most similar to when I accidentally swigged a bleach solution out of my camelback years ago. It's possible that they were last touched by the sanitizer (Idophor solution).
I know the Accuflex are supposed to have barriers to prevent absorbing taste from previous fluids run through them. Does this degrade over time? Is there a recommended cleaning method? I have smelled them before in the past and there was a beer smell to them at that time.
