Good call on the Easy Street Wheat! In the past two months I've had Boulevard Wheat and two different IPA's tapped in mine.

As the others have said, the discoloration of the lines is not going to make you sick. It's inevitable due to the nature of the vinyl. Now, you did say you try to keep it as clean as possible, but if you haven't done so already, I recommend you get the cleaning kit for sale in the beer store on this site. The cleaning agent is designed specifically for cleaning the deposits that can be left behind by the beers. As it is, my drunk neighbor bought his kegerator a year ago, hasn't cleaned the lines once yet, and it doesn't make him sick. I refuse to drink out of it.

be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
