Bucket to keg transfer?

[Tony B]

I’ve done it in the past. I’ve been using an all rounder for a while now and very much appreciate the closed transfers.
I have been fermenting one batch at a time, but have been thinking it would be nice to run two simultaneously.
I’m thinking of breaking out the bucket for a second batch and just using a gravity transfer. Plenty of oxidation potential to be sure. I would probably add a crushed campden tablet to the keg in an effort to mitigate oxidation.
I’ve done the closed loop thing before, but don’t really have extra QD’s and tubing for that at the moment. I would run it from the spout on the bucket through tubing to a QD on the liquid post.
All that said, if you were going to run with a semi- open to air transfer like this, what style would you consider brewing that may be least susceptible/ most forgiving under these conditions?
I’m thinking something simple like my Belgian single. What say you?

Anything not super hoppy should be OK. Darker and higher ABV help. Clove phenols might be good - Belgian beer?

You have a spare liquid QD but you don't have extra gas QD to run a line from the gas post back to the air lock for a closed loop?

All of my extra QD’s are set up as jumpers. I will have to disassemble one for the liquid line. I was trying to avoid disassembling two and even when I have done it this way in the past, there is still some leakage where I push the return line through the airlock hole. It’s definitely not a “closed system “.
I was asking for thoughts on style. I’m leaning towards my Belgian single, but figured I would put this out there and maybe try something different.

If you have jumpers and you dont want to take it apart, get one of the plastic or stainless carbonation caps, hook up a bit of tubing to the carbonation cap, and shove the tubing into the airlocktube. use your jumpers to connect the gas post on the keg to the carbonation cap.
