Racking trouble

[msmith92]

I was racking to keg and my auto siphon kept getting clogged and all these bubbles were running through the line.

I would also have to pump the siphon because of the clogging from the dry hops.

Now i am worried about oxygen in the beer.

Will purging as normal be enough or do i have a problem?

Depending on how you were pumping the siphon, you may have not been introducing oxygen into the beer, but instead, just agitating (through the repeated pumping) the beer and causing the CO2 to come out of solution.

If you did oxidize the beer, there's not really anything you can do at this point. I don't think I would worry about it too much unless you were removing the siphon from the beer into the air to restart the siphoning.

You should be just fine. Did you put anything over the end of your auto siphon to filter the beer? Just my thoughts here but since co2 is lighter oxygen then what you where seeing was most likely c02 if that makes sense.

You should be fine but in the future I would suggest using a hop bag when dry hopping.

Try it. I do it all the time. Sometimes it is a Bi%&h to get out, especially leaf hops. I use one gallon paint strainer bags.

Dry hop in keg with tea ball attached to keg handle with string or floss.
