How do you rack to your bottling bucket? Use a siphon that doesn't touch the trub and you should be fine. But you'll always will get some sediment.
I hope your friends aren't drinking it from the bottle. You have to decant properly into a glass.
3 Weeks Min. in the Primary helps wonders.

I like to secondary. When theres still a but of trub in the bottom of the secondary and it could have been in my beer, im a happy camper!

This is my yeastcake for my Sri Lankin Stout that sat in primary for 5 weeks. Notice how tight the yeast cake is? None of that got racked over to my bottling bucket. And the beer is extremely clear.



That little bit of beer to the right is all of the 5 gallons that DIDN'T get vaccumed off the surface of the tight trub. When I put 5 gallons in my fermenter, I tend to get 5 gallons into bottles. The cake itself is like cement, it's about an inch thick and very, very dense, you can't just tilt your bucket and have it fall out. I had to use water pressure to get it to come out.



Ths is the last little bit of the same beer in the bottling bucket, this is the only sediment that made it though and that was done on purpose, when I rack I always make sure to rub the autosiphon across the bottom of the primary to make sure there's plenty of yeast in suspension to carb the beer, but my bottles are all crystal clear and have little sediment in them.

Half the time I forget to use moss, and you can't tell the difference in clarity.

I get very very little sediment in the bottom of my bottles this way.

Just to add to several previous posts.....I leave my beers in the primary for at least a month. Then I bottle condition, or keg condition for another 3 weeks. I kept noticing that the bottles I was drinking at the last of the batch were much better than the ones I opened early. Same with the kegs, the last third of the keg was much better than when I first tapped the keg.

So, I'd just say to slow down and let it chill out.

i added about 4" of stainless braid at the end of my autosiphon. i frequently dry hop so this keeps all the hop mess from entering. as the trub is as fine as silt im not positive that it helps at all with that but i do produce some very clear (not filtered clear of course) beers.
but it sounds as if your jumping the gun also. my cure for the "i wanna drink it now" blues is to brew another batch. that way when you've got more than one poppin' your not near as anxious to "bottle , drink, crap your brains out from all the trub".

but by all means, keep brewing. and yes, patience is a virtue in this hobby/obsession.

just another persons 2 cents...
