Wow! I've never seen this before, but as I was disassembling one of my kegs and its' lines last night for cleaning, I discovered a black, hardened mess inside the picnic tap, caked on the white silicon seal (I guess that's what you'd call it). I was able to fingernail some of it off, but a lot of it is really stubborn. I soaked it in a hot-water PBW solution for about an hour with no discernible difference. Any ideas? I'm thinking of trying Oxyclean next, but wanted to know if there are any better tried and true solutions out there.
I've only been kegging my brews since January of this year - but this is the first time I'd seen one of these valves gunked up so much. Fortunately, I have a spare, so time is not of the essence.
