Hey everyone,
I realize this is a beer brewing forum and I have a soda related question, but as I can't find any soda specific forums and beer dispensing seems to work in a similar way, I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction.
I bought a used 4 flavor soda fountain/dispenser to setup at home. It's the Bag-in-Box type like you'd see in a McDonald's. I put Coca Cola syrup on the head that used to have Diet Coke and several flushes and gallons of soda later, I can still taste something that's just off. Could be remnants of Diet Coke in the lines or some old Powerade that I hooked up to keep the pumps from cycling constantly while I cleaned the machine.
Anyway, I've hooked the syrup connector up to an old bag and pumped gallons of water through this valve. I also went to a local home brew store and bought some 5 star Liquid Line Cleaner that I pumped through. The taste remains.
Can anyone recommend any other cleaners/sanitizers that would remove built up sugar/flavoring in the lines? I'd like to avoid replacing the syrup line if possible, but I realize that may be the only solution.
Thanks for any ideas you all have
