So I just got done doing my first every transfer from bucket to keg. Its my first time brewing, all new equipment. I had a siphon on the bottom of the buckets and a use connected to a ball lock connector that I connected to the out port of the kegs. The first one went fine, no issues at all. Transferred as expected. The other keg was a nightmare. Nothing would feed from the hose into the keg. I have no idea why. Now the parts for the ports are a little different. One keg is an italian keg (the one that worked) the ports had less parts. The other was an indian made keg, that had springs, a little piece that fit in etc. That is the keg that did not work. The ball lock connector would connect to it fine, but again nothing would come out.
So out of desperation in order to try and salvage the beer, I took the top off the keg, removed the ball lock connector from the hose and just fed it into the keg that way, placing the hose all the way at the bottom.
So my main question is now that I let a sh_$)ton of oxygen into the keg and beer, is it going to be ok? I was trying to keep as much O2 out as possible as its a hoppy NE IPA. But that obviously backfired. Once done I got it hooked up to the gas line and its not getting carbonated, but wondering if I killed my beer?
