I just ordered a conical dome for my Brewzilla 3.1 along with the plug pre-drilled to accommodate an airlock. If after sparging and removing the grain pipe, chilling the wort, is it possible to pitch my yeast directly into the kettle and use it as a primary fermenter? If so, this would alleviate lots of extra work, including accidentally introducing oxygen to my wort. I began to worry if the dead yeast would create a problem. My plan was to then attach a hose to the spigot and run the fermented beer into the bottling bucket. I wouldn't use the pump once I pitch the yeast to prevent and clogging. Has anyone tried this idea yet and also does anyone have any thoughts or other hints/ideas?
