I was reading the interesting "ferment and serve from keg" thread and I thought I'd seek comments/advice on my procedure.
I ferment in a Brewmeister plastic FV on completion of the cold crash I give my keg a short blast of Co2 and run the wort via a tube into the keg through the beer out port or just a tube that reaches the bottom of the keg.
Once full I'll add some priming sugar and a little gelatin give it a quick flush with Co2, seal it up and keep it warm for a few days (10) to carbonate.
Chill, wait and serve.
It's not an oxygen free closed transfer so not suitable for hop monsters but so far it's worked well, I've noticed no oxidation , it's very little trouble and saves some Co2.
The other benefits are easy yeast recovery from the FV and dry hopping without issue.
