so i bottled three 750ml bottles and kegged the rest. there was quite a bit of head space in the keg. i have a CO2 stone sitting at the bottom of the keg. i force carbed it to 24 psi and after 3-5 minutes bled out the head space.

my question is should i go back after a half an hour and bleed it again or am i just being paranoid for no reason.
 
I usually just give the bleeder valve a couple of 2-3 second pulls while I'm charging the keg to purge the oxygen from the head space. I've never used a stone. You're probably ok, but it would hurt to bleed it again if you think there's still some air in there.
