Anyone seen one of these or tasted it's "perfect" beer in just 7 days?

9th batch is the weirdest yet. No action in primary until about 60 hours in (WL001 no starter OG 1.050). Once started, the fermentation was pretty lazy. I checked it on day 8 and it looked about done, still some bubbles in airlock but very slow movement in liquid. I went to rack it this...

I need to siphon from secondary to keg but want to filter out the hop junk. I have been running it through a strainer and into the corny but I am worried about oxidation as the strainer sits on the top of the keg. I get alot of foam. Anything to worry about?

I have discovered that I can brew 5 1/2 gallons with my setup. I generally let it sit in primary for 8-10 days and then rack the beer into a secondary for dry hopping. After 2 weeks in the secondary I keg 5 gal and would like to bottle the rest (64 oz) in two 32 oz bottles. Do I add priming...

I have been brewing for 3 months. I never had the desire to brew from extract and jumped right in to all-grain. I wanted to brew something like Celebration ale, Titan IPA or Lagunitas Red and figured extract was not an option. My first batch was an AG kit. 10 pounds of grain for a 5 gallon...
