I have heard a lot of back and forth between going to a secondary or not. My main concern is if I go to a secondary and my yeast is no longer active aren't I putting my beer into danger of infection with the amount of oxygen that will fill the rest of the carboy? The airlock will be on but there will still be oxygen stuck in there.
I currently have had my batch in primary for 2 weeks. I want to check the gravity and also begin a dry hop with pellets. I am debating putting the pellets directly into the primary and then auto-siphoning into the keg once it hits FG. Otherwise I would siphon to another carboy for secondary, dry hop in there, and then siphon into the keg.
Please let me know your thoughts! Currently my dip tube goes all the way to the bottom of my corny, but I do have a screen on it:
