Hey everyone.
So I just finished up my first IPA, and I had some trouble during transfer and long story short it looks like I ended up with a lot of hop debris in the keg (I didn't get the chance to cold crash, which is probably the main cause of the problem). The beer is already carbonated and pouring, only there is a LOT of hop debris in the beer. I know it sinks to the bottom and by the end it should be cleared up, but I want to know if I can transfer from one keg to another after it has already been carbonated? I figure this would most likely lead to severely increased oxidation and I should chalk this and a few other problems with the batch up to experience and brew it again and for the mean time just drink around the debris. It really does smell and taste too good to go to waste
I don't think I can use the counter flow method where I directly hook the kegs together using the disconnects as I need to draw from the top down in order to leave the hop debris.
