First, I want to thank everyone for the feedback I received on different ways to close off the gap between my kegerator and the countertop in order to keep the beer lines cold and not have air escape.  Very helpful. 

There are lot of products that people suggest for use cleaning beer lines, faucets etc.  This newbie would like to see if people are happy with the product that i was considering using or have any other suggestions. 

StarSan is the one that seems to get a lot of feedback as a line cleaner.  Can this be used to clean/sanitize the faucets and couplers as well?   For faucets and other?  Is PBW the same type of product?

After sanitizing seems people will rinse the lines with cleaning Warm/hot water but I did see a few posts where people said that defeats the purpose of the cleaning?  thoughts on this? 

BLC. It seems like people only use this occasionally for more "heavy duty" cleaning like beer stones.  If you clean regularly, is this an absolute necessity to use these products.  What is the best use of this?  Is it only for beer lines?

As a note, I am not a homebrewer so not looking to clean kegs.  Just keep the lines, faucets and couplers clean so the beer tastes like it should.   Thanks again for to the community for any feedback/recommendations.
