I am new to kegging. I have seen some people have a carboy topper that has 2 connections, one goes to a keg and one goes to a CO2 tank. I am looking to find one of these tops or the parts needed to make one. Basically I want to move the beer from my plastic carboy fermenter straight into the keg under pressure as I will be making a NE IPA and have read numerous times they dont like O2. Thanks for any help.

@day_trippr has a set up like this. Maybe he'll see this and point you in the right direction. Though be careful when doing this, those carboys aren't designed to hold pressure. You can also ferment out of a corny keg.

You just need a set of lines with normal connectors on the other end. Most people seem to take the skinny end of a racking cane and slide it through one, then put a hose from the CO2 through the other. attach a ball/pin lock to the hose on the racking cane and you can push into the keg. You only need 1-2PSI to push the liquid.
