re: Homebrewing: In-Process Thread

When I move mine to bulk age, I actually add small amount of sugar to get them partially carbed in the keg and also seat the lid with some co2 from the tank. My aging process is set up to allow oxygen early on in the buckets and carboys for a few months, and then bulk age without any oxygen. Not ideal, but it's the best way I've found to do it with my equipment. It also allows me to easily take samples without introducing any oxygen.
