For pouring I use a stainless steel funnel. But depending on the bottle size, I might also use a 25Ml serological pipette with hand pump.

Downside to the pump & pipette combo, you need steady hands as it's just over 20 inches long, can be a little unwieldy.

I'd replace the Turkey baster with something like this:

My clean environment is simply a glass top table that I wipe down with 10% bleach and 70% ethanol with a little tiki torch burner and I've had great success with minimal contams (2 out of 40 plates). I'm starting LC using a $7 pipettor with a $10 reusable glass serological pipet for transferring between LC and grain jars. I'll also use an inoculating loop to transfer between spore print to agar or agar culture to LC. It's just some methods I'm adopting from things I've learned in microbiology lab courses so I can avoid using disposable syringes.
