    I see you're using Duotight connections on the two tap kegerator. Have you had any issue with the connectors and the beer stone remover? I have heard over exposure (soaking) with starsan can breakdown the duotight connectors. I've never used beer stone remover but since it's acidic, was wondering if there's that same potential.
    I usually do a rinse, wash (BLC), rinse, then star san via recirculation with a pump.

      We have not had any issues, but we've honestly only had the duotight connections for about three years now. My main kegerator uses stainless threaded barbs, and over 15 years those have never had an issue (but being stainless they are pretty much invincible). I would not think that soaking the duotight connectors in beer stone remover for 20 minutes every six months would really do much to them. Its important to remember that BLC is an alkaline cleaner, which will clean up a lot of the beer gunk, but you still need the acidic cleaner to clean up what the BLC cannot (i.e. beer stone). I wonder if anyone else has had issues with those connections and starsan/beer stone remover?

      @@BenhamBrewing I read about the starsan issue on home brew talk. I have transfer lines made with the eva barrier tubing and duotight ends on them. I used to soak the lines in a bucket of starsan before transfers.
      May not be much as you said but was just wondering. Usually I do 15 minute periods of recirculation when cleaning my lines. I'll get the beer stone remover to add to my cleaning arsenal. Thanks.
