I don't know, man. Kind of wondered the same thing myself. I cut mine a few inches shorter to remove some of the extra slack, and I'm wondering if there is too much tension on the tube now to let it float loosely. Only thing I can think of.

My guess is it isn't floating perfectly, and pulling air from the headspace too. This happens with my torpedo floating dip tube. Towards the end of the pour, seems like the dip tube is no longer in the liquid. I just give it a little shake and it's usually ok.

Not sure, but the point isn't to sanitize the oxygen, it's to keep oxygen from coming back in at all.

Did you pull the pressure relief valve at all when changing your pressures?

I think it's like that everywhere. Just doesn't seem to be much of a deal to buy in 'bulk'

congrats! your volume looks quite low, so some top up water would've brought the gravity down closer to your expected numbers.
