Well....a couple months ago I though I would bond with my son and make him some birch beer and cream soda. He likes it very much, however I am worried about flavor carryover when converting the keg back to beer. I did buy a new tap and fluid line. Anyone run into this issue would PBW be enough to clean the keg? Can anyone suggest a procedure......:mug:
 
Oxy clean soak followed by a really really hot water rinse and you should be good to go with no flavor carry over at all. I make my wife real root beer and just oxy clean them really well, wash em out with hot water and sanitize with star san and no problem so far. Your lines and tap are the hardest part to get 100% clean and you have eliminated that issue with a dedicated tap. My .02 FWIW, YMMV...
