I haven't done this yet, but I did get a pump-action beer line cleaning kit with that original craigslist haul I got way back before I had my kegerator going. Since I had to get my CO2 tank reinspected, and that took all of a month, my lines sat there with the same beer in them for, well, a month.
Anyone have instructions on how to go about this? I just kicked the two kegs I had on these taps, so I think it's a perfect time to do it. What I figure I'll do is take the ventmatics off of the tower, depressurize the kegs, hook up the cleaning pump/reservoir---and as I pump, the cleaning solution will go backwards through the line into the kegs.
I don't have any cleaning solution, however, so I'm wondering if there's anything in particular that I should be using. I have oxyclean, PBW and AHS's UBC. Are any of these safe to use? Or do I need to buy the specialized Beer Line Cleaner?
