I kegged two brews yesterday after 10 days in the primary. An IPA and a Blue Moon clone. The IPA was ready so no problems, but when I cracked the top on the BM clone, it was obvious it was actively fermenting - the top was one big bubble field. So I racked it to a keg anyway and have it sitting in the closet. I'll vent it daily for another 2 weeks and then force carb it.
But in retrospect, I probably should have put the top back on. I was concerned though that I already let all the CO2 out and wasn't sure what that O2 layer would do to the beer. So I figured kegging it and purging with CO2 would be safest.
What would you have done in this situation?
Hydro reading was 1.018 so it was close to being finished.
