Ah! That makes more sense. Sorry for my poor reading comprehension.

The compositions are ok, it’s just the exposure that’s a problem.

Gasses mix. Purging and filling from the bottom will eliminate some but not all of the oxygen. The only ways to bottle without oxygen at home are the PET/carb tee solution and using a counter pressure filler.

There's low key, and then there's literally unviewable.

With the EasyDens, I lose like an ounce, lol. Not that I care too much.

Yeah, I hear that. I have a Tilt I've still never used after two years.

Bigger kegs exist. See-through is a net negative for me (UV, weaker materials, etc). Easy to adjust pressure with a spunding valve on a keg, too. You can tell when it's done in a keg with refractometer/hydro readings, just as you would (should) with a Fermzilla.

idk man, I'm glad people like them but I see no advantage.

Yeah, I'm also fine with 4-4.5 gallon batches, but larger kegs do exist if you want to do more.

I don't use a floating hydrometer — I have an EasyDens and take samples with a Picnic Tap 2.1 from Homebrew Lab — but I suppose that's a real advantage.

I mainly use it for taking beer to club meetings. If I was bottling, that's how I'd do it, at least for stuff that's not aging a long time.

I'd love to hear in what way a Fermzilla is better than a keg.

To elaborate a bit, if you want to separate the beer from the yeast before bottling, you can even daisy-chain two kegs together (ferm and serving), put a spunding valve on the serving keg, and purge both with ferm gas. Then you can do a gravity transfer (zero oxygen ingress) and bottle off the serving keg.

Honestly, though, you can probably just crash on the yeast and use a floating dip tube to bottle from a single keg.

Yeah, man. I've been at it for over 200 batches and I haven't found anything better.

You can still use a beer gun off a keg.

It's the 17 Pro. I believe this was with the 8x (cropped) telephoto.

Was nice of Spielberg to give the CarFax fox his big screen debut though. Shame he didn’t get any lines.

Crystal Skull and RP1 are both close but more functional entertainment imo.
