Soon I will be kegging my IBA. I want to avoid oxidation as much as possible, but I will need to use the siphon. Will it help if I fill the keg with CO2 before I siphon, given that CO2 is heavier that room air.
Because you have no spigot or dip tube on your FV? If you have to take the lid off the fermenter then the beer is going to be exposed to oxygen no matter what you do to the keg, and once you open a purged keg it's not purged anymore. I'm not sure how you would start a siphon and run it into a purged keg through a QD.I will need to use the siphon
You could try rigging something like this

Answering my own question - you could stick a QD and one of these connectors on the end of your siphon to fill it, then pull the connector and pop it onto the keg post (and hope you don't lose the siphon)I'm not sure how you would start a siphon and run it into a purged keg through a QD.
NEIPA.we made good beer back in the 90s and nobody was doing closed transfers and measuring dissolved oxygen. What changed?
