I think I can work out how there is no need to rack
can you bulk prime , assuming you still need to bottle which can lead to irregular or uneven carbonation )
looks good and the need to man handle (lift) racked fermentors which can be heavy
will wait for the video
Big W has a brigalow hydrometer on special
cannot see if its plastic though
https://www.bigw.com.au/product/brigalow-home-brew-beer-hydrometer/p/WCC100000000244955/
The hydrometer is mainly used to measure the start and end of fermentation to have a guess at the percentage alcohol anyway
I found that I keep mine in a plastic pipe I purchased from the big B to reduce damage in storage helps
I have made several batches using Berri apple juice from Woolies

at flame out
add
20 g saaz
1200 g dried light malt extract
cool
add Danstar Belle saison...
with the
German Northern Brewer 8.0 % 19 g 24.0 Loose Pellet Hops 60 Min From End
US Cluster 7.5 % 25 g 0.0 Loose Pellet Hops Dry-Hopped
and a lower alcohol level should be OK
I was looking for a can of bitter , but happy to use the light liquid malt extract
however I tend to substitute 80% of the liquid malt extract bill with dry malt extract , which I buy in bulk
I make stove top brews mainly
I am still using the fermenter I got , free , from Grumpies back in 2005 with a purchase of $100 worth of ingredients
remove the tap , dismantle and clean every batch
sanitise the fermenter and bits with PSR
never lost a batch
