So I brewed my first lager (czech pilsner) two weeks ago, and after primary was completed and a 2 day diacetyl rest in my 6 gallon fermenter, I transferred to my secondary today. Unfortunately, I only ended up with about 4 gallons of beer transferred into my 5 gallon secondary. I am now going to lager at 35 degrees for 6 weeks. Because of the extra head space in my fermenter, I am concerned that I may have subjected my pilsner to oxidization. After lagering, I plan on transferring to my corny keg, and so at that point, I will be able to blast the oxygen out of the keg but am concerned about what might happen during the lagering phase. Thanks for any insight!
