I have come up with a technique for reducing oxidation on hoppy beers.
It consists of adding sugar 2 days before bottling day. Figure out a amount that will bring up yeast to work out and make the beer produce a good amount of CO2. On the bottling moment, it should be bubbling enough to prevent oxygen from getting in the bottle.
Account for the extra sugar/carbonation when adding the primming sugar.
It may sound strange for some. But there are several reports of guys saying that their hoppy beers only tasted good after they change from bottling to kegging. But I cant afford the setup right now. As a solution, some people tried adding dry ice while bottling... but that does not seem very easy or sanitary to me.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thats it!
