Hello-
I am doing my second brew. It is a California Steam beer. I am just getting started and haven't invested in a glass carboy yet, so I am sticking with only primary fermentation. My first brew had a lot of settlement end up in the bottles. I was wondering if it would work to siphon the beer from primary fermenter into the bottling bucket, let it sit, siphon back into the (cleaned) fermentation bucket, let it sit, and then siphon into the bottling bucket. My thinking is multiple siphoning will get rid a lot of the sediment in the bottom. Any thoughts?
