I recently switched out my beer lines for the anti-bacterial PVC free ones, as I've read some are experiencing some off flavors from PVC beer line. I only have one batch to go by, but it seems my current batch has benefited from the anti-microbial beer line vs the PVC that came with my draft tower.
What about the PVC line on auto-siphons and growler fillers? Would I still get some off flavors from them? I have some spare silicone line that's the same ID as the PVC. Could I use it to see if the taste is affect when racking or filling? The only thing I worry about is my growler filler is also used as a counter pressure filler when bottling from the keg. I bottle at serving pressure (12psi), so I worry about using this tubing for that.
