I recently bottled my first batch of home brew, so am quite new to all this.
The second batch which has just finished fermenting is a Pilsner, to which I added some hops, as supplied with the kit I purchased. When adding the hops mix to the fermenter, I didn't adequately filter it, and am now worried that much of hops residue will end up in my bottled beer. Even when I tested the final gravity, I noticed a large amount of green sediment - from the hops - in the bottom of my test tube.
The question: Now that the intial fermenation is complete and it's ready for bottling, it there a way to filter the brew before it goes into the bottle? I now realise the importance of properly straining the hpos as it goes into the fermenter!
Obviously, I don't want all this ending up in the bottle, but at the same time, I don't want to have to tip out what I have and start again!
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!
