FV had a hair over the 5 gallon line. Racking into keg, got a lot of it but not all of it in. Racking cane was moving the beer quite slow near the bottom (yes, I tilted the bucket carefully. yes, I raised the cane a bit to get it away from trub). Guests were showing up at the house so had to bail on the last of it. Looked like maybe 1/4 to 1/2 a gallon that did not make it into the keg. Anyway...
I would estimate between 5 and 6 inches of head space. Dangerous?
Further details:
I'm not set up yet to carbonate the keg with CO2.
Racked early evening Saturday
Wednesday evening, boiled half a cup of water with 6 oz of corn sugar. Added to keg in effort to carbonate/clean up any O2.
The plan was to keep keg sealed in a cool place until I have keezer set up with CO2 supply.
Sorry that I can't depict the depth much better with the angle at which the photo was taken. Thanks in advance.
