I'm in the process of getting my house IPA dialed in, and this includes a "heady" style dry hopping schedule (4 different additions 3 days each in a hop sock) in my plastic bucket primary fermenter after the krausen has dropped. In doing so, I'm introducing some O2 into the headspace, and it seems like there is no CO2 blanket left at all after all 4 separate additions have been added. Is it worth rigging up an S30 valve to the lid of the fermenter so I can purge the headspace with CO2 after each hop addition?
