  • Kegging water imparting metallic flavor?

    Hey guys, had a question about serving tap water through one of our taps. We are getting an off flavor when we serve flat water from a keg. The keg is cleaned (we opened it and inspected) as well as completely rinsed of sani after the cleaning process before filling with the water. Our tap water is carbon filtered and tastes really good when it comes from the faucet, but once it goes into the keg, it develops a flavor that is hard to describe...almost like a metallic flavor. We even tried a different keg and we are still picking up this flavor...any ideas? Thanks in advance

    Iodophor?

    Iodophor will leave a slight metallic taste when used without rinse. Even at recommended dosing.

      We are using paracetic acid as our sani rinse, its just odd that we are getting this flavor even after rinsing the keg before filling! Can PAA give off a similar flavor?

            Yep, that's it I'd guarantee it! We did that, then switched to ro water with a tank, fills itself and we made it self serve for customers.
