WHEN I WAS IN THE DRAFT SYSTEM INSTALLATION BUSINESS I ALSO CLEANED ALL MY SYSTEMS WITH FOOD GRADE PHOSPHORIC ACID, SIMILAR TO LIMEAWAY. THIS LITERALY DISOLVED THE BEERSTONE (A FORM OF CALCIUM). BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AS THIS IS VERY CORROSIVE TO YOUR BRASS FITTINGS IF YOU LEAVE IT TO LONG. I STILL USE LIMEAWAY IN MY HOME SYSTEM BUT INSTEAD OF FLUSHING MY SYSTEM I REMOVE THE FAUCET, KEG TAP AND LINE AND SOAK THEM IN THE SINK. I ALSO USE A FAUCET BRUSH ON ALL PARTS ACCESSIBLE. I WORKED FOR MOLSON BREWERIES IN CANADA FOR 34 YEARS AND SPECIALIZED IN DRAFT BEER AND SYSTEMS AND RAN DRAFT BEER SCHOOLS FOR OUR SALES PEOPLE AS WELL AS HOTEL AND RESTAURANT BAR PERSONEL.
WE KEEP A KEG OF BEER ON TAP AT HOME AT ALL TIMES.
I HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM. GOOD LUCK
