I just brewed a session IPA yesterday. I plan on dry-hopping this beer in about 10 days. I want to use a corney keg as my secondary vessel as I'm trying to develop an O2 free environment all the way from primary to kegging.

For those that have used a keg as a secondary vessel for dry-hopping, once the secondary is full of beer and the hops are in, do you have an airlock or blow-off tube connected during this phase, or do you just filler her up and seal her closed? Thanks for the help.

Just leave it closed. After 10 days fermentation should already be done anyways. You may get a little renewed activity from the transfer because of the yeast stirring but nothing to fear
