I have a keg 'dedicated' to plain (plane?) water. just so it doesn't taste like beer. I keep meaning to make up some soda syrup to mix in the glass. gotta get a good from scratch rootbeer recipe. and some sarsparilla root.

As everyone has said, if you have a root beer keg, soak in PBW, throw away o-rings and get new ones.  I just bought a reconditioned keg that apparently had root beer in it before.  FWIW, I soaked in PBW and threw out the o-rings because they seemed to hold the most odor in.
