I have a question about the process of using a counter-pressure bottle filler to transfer beer from my keg into bottles and how to keep the beer from being exposed to Oxygen in the process. I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid or if there's actually a risk that I'm bottling my beer with oxygen.
I'm using this bottle filler. Sorry it's in German, but you should get the picture. It's the usual 4-way beer-in, beer-out, co2-in, co2-out system.
My question is:
When the bottle is completely filled with beer I remove the tube from the bottle slowly and this causes the beer to slunk down into the bottle. Doesn't this pull oxygen into the top of the bottle?
There isn't enough foam at the top to protect the beer from oxygen. I hear people recommend "capping on foam". Is this ok, or should I be doing something different?
