Review on High Temperature Food Grade Silicone Tubing - 3/8" ID X 1/2" OD For Home Brewing, Kegerator, Wine Making, And More By Quickun Pure (3.28 Ft) by Carlito Tardy

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fine tubing, but not good for beer line

I am using this tubing on my draft beer setup into taps going through the wall behind my kegerator. The beer is fine through the line, doesn't foam badly or anything so that's good. The problem is when you come back to pour a beer the next day, the silicone is porous and lets all of the CO2 out of the line so the first 4 ounces of your beer is totally flat. On top of that, with some of my beers, it has a vinegar taste to it after it has sat in the line for a day, so it's flat and vinegar tasting, pretty much makes you pour half a glass in the drain when you first want a beer. That's a lot of wasted beer when I only have 1 or 2 every few days or so.This tubing is good to transfer beer, but not to let beer sit in it. I am going to redo the whole system with Bevseal barrier tubing now, which is about the same price, but will not have that vinegar flavor after a day. We'll see how it turns out.
