Scary.  BLC is not considered a caustic, correct?

Sorry, that is incorrect. It is diluted lye. Perfectly safe when handled appropriately.

National chemical BLC is caustic potash - https://nationalchemicals.com/download/document/141

What is everyone using for line cleaning? I'm not worried about burning my organs just wondering if anything is preferred. I happened to get five star's LLC but it seems BLC is more popular

I go back and forth between LLC and BLC. Depends on where I buy it when I run out. No real preference. LLC is lye.

That's freaky.

I personally don't use any line cleaners.

I've used the old PBW, hot water, sani-clean combo since I started kegging.  Recirc pump.
