So I just kegged my first batch and for some reason the carboy cap siphon would not hold. No matter what I did I couldn't keep the beer flowing. I eventually had to drain the beer out of the carboy into a bottling bucket and then into the keg. I think the hose got turned some way in the keg not allowing the siphon action to work properly.
Anyways, should I be worried about oxidation from all the blowing into the beer I did? And the extra time it spent exposed to air? Also how bad will the beer be if it did get oxidized. Dammit I hate panicking like this but I'm worried because this is a beer for a friends house warming party April 5th and everything else went fine the whole time.
I started force carbing immediately to try and remove as much O2 as possible and now its sitting in my basement hooked up to the CO2 tank at 30 psi.
Thanks
