Sorry for the bad art work, I attached a hamd drawn picture to help clarify my idea. I am looking for the best method of transferring my beer to a bottle with the least amount of oxygen pick up. I don't have a 5 gallon keg and don't intend on buying one. I just want to utilize the equipment I currently have. I want to bottle condition this beer (it's a saison) because it is appropriate for the style. Therefore, I will be using a bottling bucket (which will be purged with CO2 prior to the transfer) with a modified lid. If I drill another hole in the lid and add a rubber grommet , I can attach a racking cane and a air lock (for pressure release of gases) to the same lid. This way I can transfer the beer into an enclosed bottling bucket with no risk of damaging the bucket due to pressure build up. Do you think this would work and also be effective enough for reducing as much oxygen as possible in the transferring process?
