First time kegger, wondering if ive ruined my beer....
So ive been using the auto siphon for a while, and yesterday im starting the auto siphon and it seems to move beer on the initial pump but the flow is not working.. so I have to pump it a LOT to get all of the beer moved from the bucket to the keg. I noticed when I was done that there was some foam in the keg (could have been sanitizer, but im guessing it was mostly beer).
Now, I assume those bubbles in the foam hold oxygen. So, when I sealed it up I hit it with co2 and purged at least a dozen times from the pressure release valve. Then, a few hours later I did the same thing. My thought process was that if i did that enough, that oxygen would get pushed out. I dont know how long it takes for those bubbles to bust or if the co2 busts them via pressure... but i also dont know if ive done enough to get the oxygen out.
Have I ruined my beer? Should I do more purging today?
