I have a heavily soiled cask line. Another brewer told me to soak it overnight with a dual caustic cleaner (maybe Cl2 NaOH?). The lines are PVC. Anyhoo, this got me to thinking, is it ok to soak all of my lines overnight with such a cleaner? It would be kind of nice to go home knowing there is a detergent still hard at work after I've punched out. Of course, I would thoroughly rinse the next morning.
I generally soak for 20 minutes, then rinse, then sanitize. I don't think this is always effective enough based on what I saw in one of my cask lines (since I can't see my beer lines, a pound of prevention is worth it's weight in.....hops.).
