Je trouve que ce que tu fais là n'a aucun intérêt car le principal intérêt de la fermentation sous pression et d'éviter de faire rentrer de l'oxygène notamment dans le cas de production de bière de type IPA où l'on veut éviter l'oxydation du houblon et dans ton cas tu ouvres le fermenteur pour faire un dry hopping il existe des systèmes pour incorporer le houblon sans ouvrir le kegmenter

Great video. I was wondering how to keep track of the transferred volume when using a steel fermenter (not see through) but I came to realise that a normal personal scale and going by weight is excellent, just tare the Cornelius keg. Simple advice but may be useful to someone.

Is there a way to do this without the spunding valve? Perhaps just by purging as it fills?
@insaneshadow1

You can do that. Using the spunding valve is better because you wont have pressure spikes that cause the carbonation to shoot out of solution causing a bunch of foam

My understanding is that it is the hops in beer that get oxidised easily, shouldn't be a drama with cider made like this. That being said, I still use my normal methods of transfer which should minimise oxygen exposure just to be safe.

Why did you decide to keep the Co2 inside in the cold, wouldn’t it be more beneficial to keep the gas in ambient temp, especially when level gets low? Maybe it wouldn’t make much difference?
