Transfer barrel aged beer to corny keg

[suric]

I'm getting ready to transfer my 6 month aged Porter to corny kegs. 15 gals or slightly less. Any ideas on how to transfer and minimize oxygen contamination. I need a DYI set up. Low funds for a bulldog keg device

Suric, purge the keg with CO2, then just use a siphon, keeping the end down to minimize splashing.

I push mine out with CO2. All that's needed is a cheap air horn, rubber stopper and racking cane.

How is the air horn applied to the set up?

The airhorn is connected to the CO2 regulator. I thought I would use the on/off feature but now I have it always on and turn the gas on/off with a shutoff valve on the regulator. In other words, the airhorn is not needed. I could have just put a short piece of racking tube in the stopper and the gas line on that. I use the airhorn because it fits in the quick disconnect on my gas line. The quick disconnect allows me to change from airhorn to air chuck to pin or ball lock disconnect rapidly.
