Would a solution be to rack into another carboy and only when you are ready to bottle to rack into the bottling bucket? I guess I am sufficiently anxious when I bottle 5 or 6 gallons and so have the bottles sitting uncorked for 30 minutes, to shiver at the thought of racking into a wide mouthed bucket and coming back after a couple of days to begin bottling... but then I never seal my buckets and use them only for the first week or two of active fermentation.
