Anyone doing a primary to secondary transfer like this?

I use CO2 to transfer, but not nearly as involved as that process.

just purge the receiving vessel with CO2, usually a keg. then use a special cap (its orange with two holes and fits over a carboy, have not seen one in a long time) apply pressure, dump the first bits of trub and done.
just need to be careful not to over pressure the carboy. it works very well.

a bottling bucket with spigot can work with gravity too.
Cheers.

 

I do it similarly, to purge and transfer to a secondary carboy (and then later, from secondary to keg). It's simple, it works, and I haven't lost or ruined a batch in 35 years of doing it this way.

 

I do this as well. Used to purge the keg and then pop the lid and drop the tubing into the bottom and fill from there. Just recently started pushing it through a liquid out post to the bottom of the keg through the dip tube, just make sure to vent the keg since the 40psi in the keg will shoot straight up through the line into the Better Bottle which is no bueno.

 

I use the higher PSI to purge the keg, seat the lid, and blast any O2 out of my dry hops. Usually I would do like 20 psi (which would still back flow) but my lids weren't seating right with the dental floss so I lubed up my o-rings and cranked the PSI up.

 

I do this when transferring finished beer to a crash keg . Work s fine.

 

Yep. That's one lesson I learned the hard way.

 

My carboy cap popped off, loud bang, Better Bottle jumped 3+ inches off the shelf in my fridge. Only took me once to learn that lesson. Just glad the cap popped off and not the fermentor exploding.
