In my case, the beer ended up with a plastic taste after I sterilized my bottles using a copper manifold driven by the steam generator. And I did not use the plastic hose at all - I found a plumbing fitting that connected directly to where the hose would normally attach on the steam generator, and that connected to the copper manifold via a few inches of silicon hose.
So in my experience the plastic flavor came from the body of the steam generator, not the plastic hose.
But I'm sure they're all different and your mileage will vary. I'm following your dabbling with great interest :hat:
