Good morning. Thought I would share my bottling experience...
I put the IPA in a 57F room and within 1 day the hops that were floating sank to the bottom. I racked into my bottling bucket as Yooper suggested - siphoned from the center until the volume dropped, etc. After I siphoned I let it sit in the bottling bucket for about 15-20 mins to get any particulate matter to settle to the bottom (and there were some particles). Bottling went perfectly and I don't think even 1 little bit of Fuggles got into a bottle. Also happy to say that the beer smelled and tasted awesome. My patience will be tested over the next few weeks!
Thanks for all of the advice and suggestions. Prost!
