Hi,
I have never noticed a problem with my beer oxidizing after aging in a bottle for a while but I am curious if eventually the O2 in the bottle neck will change the beer profile.
I always knew there would be a little oxygen in the bottle neck just before capping but as the CO2 pressure builds in the bottle, and since CO2 is heavier than O2, my thought is that it would always stay on the surface of the beer and keep the beer from oxidizing.
Is my assumption correct? Should I sprites my bottles with a little CO2 prior to bottling or will that even matter?
Just curious...
Thanks,
Trip
