Bottle spunding is what I do with good results, however you really need to do a forced fermentation test to avoid bottle bombs.
That's the basic idea. I will say that the shelf life isn't as good as kegging, although anyone trying to keep IPAs for a while probably doesn't understand IPAs that well.Spunding might be a very good idea.
I do have quite a consistent FG with certain strains, if so, could this be as easy as monitor the SG then plug the airlock hole 2-3 p before FG, chill the fermenter then bottle?

I ferment in a plastic bucket. Not sure how much pressure it can hold.What are you fermenting in? Can your fermenter hold Pressure? I was saying you could transfer to the bottle to spund in the bottle. The actively fermenting yeast may or may not scavenge O2 that you pickup when bottling.
Seems like I have to upgrade my gear [emoji16]Not much, you can’t spund in that

If you have constant diacetyl issues with hoppy beers try using 1007. It doesn’t produce diacetyl. As soon as you reach terminal with it you can crash it. Local huge brewery near me uses it for everything. They have to filter cause it doesn’t flocc for ****. I think it’s the strain Pizza Pint uses as well although I’m not 100% sure on that.
Any chance you know if K-97 is the dry yeast equivalent of 1007? I've seen a few folks suggest that on various message boards.
Would love to hear any anecdotes from folks using K-97 specifically to avoid diacetyl!
