After every keg kicks I do a pbw fill. I then disconnect each one of my keg bev outs and run some of the pbw from the kicked keg thru the line, maybe a minute each. I then do the same process with warm water and finally star san. After doing this today I started getting really foamy pours. Warm beer lines? They feel cold to the touch and I ran some beer thru each line. Other ideas?
Does anyone have a better alternative. I could do a cold water flush but the pbw may not get rinsed as well. Doing it after a hot flush just seems wasteful.
 
Never used PBW on my keezer, typically use BLC or LLC for cleaning lines.
But I doubt the cleaner is causing the bad behavior, I'd guess things warmed up (perhaps including the beer) and you just need to wait for everything to get back to where it was before the cleaning exercise...

Cheers!
