Foamy beer after tap cleaning
Our tap lines are quite long. I typically do a recirculating cycle of pbc and then an acid cycle.
Is there anything I can do afterwards to fix this issue?

Do/have you worked at a brewery that archived production beers?
So the brewery I work at, each time we can, we set aside a 6pk for just Incase someone has a complaint about something (carb is off, it was super foamy, I dunno whatever). So far it's only happened once, a Belgian beer that had been sitting on a shelf for way too long, that used diastatic yeast, got way way over carbed. We also use them to revisit seasonals to reassess if we want to change them at all.
Other then that we have a large pile of beer that just doesn't stop accumulating.
At what point in time would you deem it acceptable to throw out? 6 months? 8 months? A year? Longer?

Timer app.
So I use my phone timer almost constantly throughout the day. I just use the stock Google clock which has for the most part has been more than sufficient. However, lately as in the last few months I've noticed I accidentally hit the stop button as it's going off in my pocket. Which causes me to miss my alarm. It'd solve all my problems if I could just set it so that I'd need to unlock my phone to turn it off, but as far as I can tell that isn't an option.
My question would be, is there any timer app that you like or would recommend? Or am I just missing that setting in the app?
