Pouring the beer in should result in oxidation maybe? but it doesn't ever taste oxidised.

Screwy

You wont oxidise your beer if you pour it into a vessel that is free of O2. As you are hitting the 'bits' keg with 300kpa of CO2 every time you are just dissolving CO2 into solution when you pour. No chance of oxidation.

A corny holds 19 litre to the bottom of rhe gas tube and 19.5 litre to the bottom of the gasket housing. I measured it by weight.

I just checked with a 5lt measure. I got 20lt to the bottom of the gasket housing..

So I reckon it is something between 19.5 to 20lt.

TB, I kegged my Belgian this morning and noticed that on this particular keg the gas post is only about a cm long, that's right, you really have to squint to see it. The other 3 kegs are about 4 cm so I reckon there was no real reason to have such a long post.
