I recently bought the two tap font from Keg King and just installed it last night, everything works great but there is a weird taste to the beer now, I gave the taps a soak in Starsan before use, should I have left them over night or is there a better way to clean them before use?

They are the ABS forward sealing taps btw.

I'm thinking of running a full keg of Starsan through each tap tonight and seeing if that fixes the problem, does anyone have a better solution? I really don't want to have to pull the font apart but I will if it's unavoidable.

Cheers.
 
Run a 1/2 keg full of napisan (sodium percarbonate) or home brand equivalent without any fragrance through both taps. Then a keg of water to rinse. Should clean them right up.
 
Cheers, will give that a go, the sodium perc is fine for plastics?

Best thing for cleaning your plastic fermenters and just about everything around the brewery.
