For those who still mess with caustic soda how much do u use for a keg/beer line wash?
 
2% (20g in 1 litre hot water) with 15min contact then a good flush with water and an acid rinse will get rid of any organic matter.

No worries, just remember that caustic alone wont move beer stone, that will need some acid and a scrub.

acid first, caustic, then acid again to neutralise
 
If what you are wearing does not include safety goggles...... please dont. Do it stark bollocking naked otherwise if you you like, get under the hose fast enough and you'll be OK - but not your eyes.
 
Sounds like fun stuff.
