Hello
As many, I currently do a low oxygen transfer where I purge my keg pushing out all the star san, I then connect the tap of the fermenter to the liquid disconnect, slighly open the airlock to allow air flow, open the tap and let gravity do the rest of the work.
Once I have finished transfering all the beer, should I also purge the headspace with CO2? It is necessary if the keg has already been pre-purged?
If recommended, and since I carbonate and serve having the keg lying on it's side, should I purge the headspace when the keg is lying down or standing? The volume of headspace is obviously not the same although I am not sure it makes a difference.
Thanks!
