Hey all! I need new beer lines, but, will be having company the next couple of days. My beer lines are putting out a tart flavor. It's my fault as I let room temp beer sit in there for a week or two at a time, it got build up, and did not keep up with my cleaning. I've tried an overnight soak with PBW, acid wash number 6 (soaked for 15 min because I didn't have a free keg at the time), and it's definitely much better but there's still a twang there. If I pull a sample directly from the keg it's clean. I do have floating dip tubes and soak/brush out the silicone hoses after every use. Also I break down, clean, and soak the kegs/fittings after the kegs are empty. So in lieu of no homebrew over Christmas my wonder is if I can boil the hoses for 10 minutes or so in treated (campden) water. Here are the hoses I have

Here is a pic of the acid wash I picked up from the brewery
I do have an empty keg and am not opposed to filling it up with this solution and bumping it out with co2 on each line. All I have is home made pbw, starsan, and Acid Wash 6. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
