When I change kegs, I always switch to new vinyl in my lines. But I've always wondered what's precipitating out of the beer/growing in my lines after a keg has been on for a few months (see photo below). If a beer sits in a line for too long, I assume something will grow. But is a draft line like this safe to use again? Is there something preventative that I can do to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen?
FWIW, if I reuse vinyl I will clean it with a 15 minute circulation with line cleaner, rinse that, then circulate sanitizer through it.
