Hi,
So, I'm having issues with residual Starsan (approx. 16oz) in my purged keg now that I'm using a floating dip tube. I never had this issue when I transferred the beer via the the liquid-in dip tube - I was able to purge virtually all but a tablespoon or so of the Starsan from the keg.
I want to continue using the floating dip tube, but I don't want to be consuming Starsan in every glass of beer.
My question is - will pushing the fermentation gas into an empty (sanitized and emptied) keg be as effective? I understand that O2 and CO2 mix, but if fermentation typically takes days, wouldn't days of fermentation gas pushed over into the keg eventually move all O2 out?
Side note - First time using Imperial Juice (A38) in a NEIPA and I was completely blown away. I've never brewed anything so...well, juicy / peachy tasting before. This yeast produced a beer that I've only dreamed about a beer tasting like.
Thanks,
Pam
