Cleaning a keg tap

[aaronc5150]

What is the best way to clean a keg tap line? Obviously after use, beer stays in the tubing once removed from the keg, is it ok for the beer to sit in there until next use and just toss out that beer from the hose, or is there a good way to clean the tubing out after use? Thank you.

when you clean your keg (I use oxyfree) hook up your beerline and gas than run the cleaner through the beer line and tap. do the same thing for sanitizing

Ok. So its ok for the beer to stay in the tap line until cleaning the keg? And after sanitizing the keg/tap line, its ok for the sanitizer to stay in the tap line until its used for beer?

I usually clean the keg as soon as its drained so the beer doesn't sit in there too long. the sanitizer will stay in the line until new beer pushes it out
