Botteling to commence soon

wbwagner · Jun 6, 2010

My first bottling day will be Friday or Saturday, depending on when I can get help. It will have sat for 4 weeks as of Saturday. I need to move it somewhere so that I can bottle. By doing so I will disrupt the trub. How long should I let the wort sit until the trub has settled back down to the bottom? Days? Weeks? Hours? Minuets?

I gave it about 3 hours myself and had no probs.

I moved mine to bottle on satuday. I let it sit for about 20min. Didn't have any problems.

I typically move mine to the bottling spot and boil the sugar & water, then I get everything else ready(sanitize, count bottles/caps, use jet bottle washer if necessary, drink beers). It's probably not sitting for much longer than 20 minutes if that. Though I don't care about sediment in my bottle.

You really don't need to let it settle for too long before it is fine, unless you drove across town with it.
