If you leave the beer in the fermenter for 3-4 weeks, the trub will compact more. I typically see it reduce from a gallon to under a quart.

If you can siphon from your boil kettle to your fermenter, you will get much less trub and break material to settle in your fermenter. Leave as much as you can in the boil pot.
Step 1: Get an autosiphon
Step 2: Rubberband a hop bag to the end (sanitize)
Step 3: PROFIT!!!

I do this on my way to the secondary and it works just fine. I have a long bag that touches the bottom on my carboys and still sticks out the top so I don't have to worry about fishing it out later.
How much sediment did you eventually end up with in your bottles (and in the hop bag)?
There is a tiny amount in the bottles, but i caught a good amount in the hop bag. Maybe an ounce? I just figured it would be easier than risking getting the bag stuck in the bottom of the carboy.
