If I have an IPA that will have four different hop charges over the course of a month. And the method calls for removing the previous charges, is there a good way to avoid oxidation?
Ultimately, fermenting a batch out. Then transferring to a keg. Hops will go into a stainless steel tube (like an enclosed hop spider). Will purge and let that sit for a week. Then I want to remove the hops and add the next charge and let that sit for a week. Ultimately, I'd do this up to four times.
Should I be concerned with this in the keg? Obviously, I'm purging with CO2 each time I'm replacing the hops but I imagine that each charge will have pockets of oxygen in there when submerged.
