Just kegged two batches and when I went to hook up the co2 to purge the head space and force carb the tank was totally out. There was a fair amount of head space in each keg. Any opinions on how bad the oxidization will be if I can get them on co2 tomorrow afternoon?
 
Were the tanks purged before fillling? As in when they were cleaned did you pressurize for storage?
If so then there should be very little o2 in there

When you fill, co2 is lighter than air so as the liquid line rises the resdiaul co2 will push out any o2.
Make sure not to shake them untill you get some more gas on it though.

Cheers!
