NEW Kegerator bad taste

[billyhoyle33]

I just got a new Kegerator so everything is clean. The beer no matter what kind tastes like plastic or a little sour. I have tried cleaning and boiling the lines which seems to give me a day of better tasting beer. But if I don't drink for a couple days it gets right back to the sour bad taste.

PLEASE help with any ideas.

I recall one of the Danby/Summit whatever brands giving a plastic taste to the beer because of the back flow ball. What brand is it? Search for 'plastic' or 'plastic taste'.

It is a Danby. Based on what you have heard do I just need to get a new tap coupler?

Beer tastes like rubber hose

Six post down after searching for +plastic +taste (the + in front of the word requires that word to be in the post, the combo of the two requires both to be in it). I didn't read through the other posts, but this one should give you a place to start. Good luck and let us know once you find the culprit.

Remove the check ball & see if that solves the problem.
