Hi all. I do bottle my beers using a spigot, I do so gently without creating much foam or splashing in the process.
I do not flush the bottles with CO2 (beer gun style).
After the bottle is filled, I place the sanitized crown cup on top, but don't crimp for a couple of minutes.
In the meantime, CO2 tends to escape from solution and I can hear and see the crown cup lifting periodically and letting the CO2 scape.
Is this also getting rid of oxygen in the head space ??
Is there any way I can improve my practice given the equipment I use?
thanks!
