If the lower gravity beer was in fact more stable how do we explain the evolution of: Export stout, Russian Imperial stout, Biere de Garde, Oktoberfest and barleywines? Return to table of contents
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:51:33 +1100 From: "Williams, Rowan" <Rowan.Williams at ag.gov.au> Subject: Keg Gas question [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] G'day all, After changing the disconnect on my gas line so I could gas up a keg via the beer out diptube, I replaced the beer disconnect with the original gas disconnect. Sure enough, I now have a very small gas leak which is a hassle, but nonetheless manageable. Then it dawned on me....if I'm occasionally hooking up the gas line to the keg and giving it a squirt of CO2 to keep pouring pressure in the keg, am I also inadvertantly adding some O2 to the keg whilst I'm at it? I'm not big on gas dynamics, but will a partially filled gas line add O2 as well as CO2 when I use it - and - is the amount of O2 over time going to have a flavour negative impact on the kegged beer?
