I brewed a batch and due to an equipment issue, I was forced to put the batch into an empty cornnelius keg with a airlock. Would there be problems if I racked it into a carboy 16 hours after the beer has started fermenting in the primary.
I know you want to limit the introduction of oxygen after the fermentation has begun, but at this point in the stage, won't CO2 formation drive off oxygen quickly enough to avoid any serious oxidization flavor effect? Are there other factors I should be concerned about (aside from infection)?
