Looking for some bottle filling advice.
I typically ferment in a bucket and have a separate bottling bucket with spigot. I have used it for bottling day with a bottle filler, but don't like racking into a separate vessel just for bottling out of concern for oxygenation.
I have also bottled straight from the fermenter using a racking cane connected to a bottle filler. Adds a lot of air and foam.
What is the most efficient (read easy and less messy) method you have used for bottling day? Any special tools used or just a bottle filler?
Thanks
P.S. - I know someone will say 'stop bottling, start kegging'. Someday...someday...stuck with bottles for now.
