I've been kegging for about a year now. I really like it, although I find I drink more beer than when I was bottling ... oh well.
However, I've been having trouble keeping my taps clean. I have three in my kegerator, but don't go through kegs all that quickly. That means a given tap might go a week or two without being used. Unfortunately, my setup is in my damp MI basement, and there's a lot of mold spores floating around. The leftover drips that hang out after pouring a glass grow mold like it's going out of style, and it's driving me crazy! If I don't clean it off, my first pour of an evening will have mold in it from the end of my tap. Nasty.
I've been kicking around the idea of getting the black rubber tap condoms (for lack of a better word) and filling them with cheap vodka between pours. Anybody try something like this, or have a better solution?
