Reclaiming lines
Another brewer in town recently reclaimed Rootbeer lines with no problem. Before you all start laughing let me tell you they were relatively new barrier lines, but they did have rootbeer in them for a few years. I cant remember what he used, nothing special though. I think he let solution soak overnight. He then packed the lines with water overnight and tasted the water for rootbeer flavor and it was clean and he has had no problems. So if you have good barrier tubing reclaiming a fruit beer line should be easy if you've kept them clean.
