Gotta love it when it's they're idea. My wife gets annoyed at how the bags of frozen peppers make everything in the freezer tast like them. Grant, does your vac sealer keep that from happening?

It would go a long way towards that, yes ...
 
There's ingress through plastics, but it's minimal ...
 
I have a lot of vac stuff to do, soon ...
 
Have to break down bulk grain orders into vac sealed 'packs' ...
 
 
I really have a bunch of not-fun/chore crap to do in the coming months ... including bottling, I guess ...

I do not have as fancy of one as Grant, but it works. Sometimes I have to seal it a couple of times because air gets in. Not sure if it is seal or the peppers puncturing the food saver bags.

Don't laugh, I am not a science guy, but don't forget the CO2 weight. If it has any weight.

I think that's relatively negligible in this case ...
 
There's only 5 lbs of gas in the full tank (at high psi), and it doesn't take much liquid volume to get to 5 lbs, so I doubt there's much weight from CO2 at only ~10 psi ...
 
Good thought, though!

I've been doing that, but two things complicate that once you're freezers are full:
 
1) It'll invariably cause beer to come out of a neighboring picnic, or ...
2) I have beers w/ fined sediment, dry hops, yeast, and oak spirals etc on the bottom - that I'm serving off the top using Clear Beer ...
* Not that a scale will fix those, but it will make it easier to know where one truly is ...

that's what i've been doing ... not getting as good of a feel for it as I figured I would, I'm assuming because of the mixed 2.5 and 3 gallon kegs ...
 
it's another stupid thing that won't matter once i knock out bottling w/ the B.G. ... i need to empty some kegs is all ...
