I have been brewing NEIPAs lately, beers that darken in the presence of oxygen, or oxidation.
I do not use CO2 to transfer from fermenter (closed transfer) to keg but do take care to limit O2 pickup by limiting splashing and purging.

Is it plausible that keg conditioning with priming sugar will scrub O2 left in the beer?
The benefits of keg conditioning may also be beneficial to the hop flavor/aroma while at ambient temperature for a few weeks. My theory that is ...
