I did a bit of an experiment with the PBW.
I flushed around 5 litres through my beer lines and pluto, then flushed with another 5 litres or so of plain water. Connected it to a fresh keg and pulled a beer. The beer had a decidedly soapy taste and the head lasted around 20 seconds before dissipating.
So I then made up 5 litres of Starsan, swished it around an empty keg for a while and then ran it through my beer lines and gun. Back onto the fresh keg of beer and what do you know, the beer poured just fine. Held it's head until the bottom of the glass and no soapy taste.
So if you use PBW to flush your beer lines, follow with a rinse with Starsan or similar.
