Keg Tubing

[NadoHawk]

What are your recommendations for keg tubing?

I am currently looking at getting the Ultra Barrier Silver (costing just over 50 dollars for three taps @10 ft a line...much more than I excepted to pay for my lines) because I am the only beer drinker in the house and I fear it may mold if I go on vacation with vinyl (15 dollars for the same setup) and I heard of vinyl leaving off flavors.

I plan on transitioning to bev seal ultra. I've only converted one so far (13 to go!), but I am using a different ID than others, so I also need to use Perlick 650ss faucets to adjust the restriction.

I've been using vinyl for years though. I wouldn't be worried about mold, but yes, it will taint the beer in the line. I just pour off the first 2 oz before I do my actual pour. This waste is why I want to go to the bev seal ultra tubing and 650ss faucets so that I don't have to cast off any of my beer.

I would spend the money on any "anti microbial" tubes if you're the only beer drinker and have 3 taps. Beer lines can become infected (and can and will work backward and infect a newly tapped keg that was otherwise fine previously) if you're not pushing beer through all the time (some one told me one pull a day might not be enough). I have 2 650ss and 6' of line with 3 pressure options. If you're going to be serving all the beer at the same temp at the same pressure, you don't need the 650ss. Otherwise, it is a wise investment.

+1 for Bev Seal Ultra. http://www.birdmanbrewing.com/accuflex-bev-seal-ultra-barrier-tubing-3-16-id-50ft-free-shipping/

If you are doing a kegerator with shanks, splurge and get the push fittings.

Is this offer from Midwest Supplies the same as More Beer's? They both seem to be the same, but Midwest seems more generic.
