How do you guys usually handle the bottling bucket once the beer gets down to the level of the spigot? I usually tilt the bucket towards the spigot to get every last bit of beer to flow through it (about half a cup always stays behind for some reason... but I drink that after I'm done).
I know it seems like a dumb or obvious sort of question, but I'm really wondering if I should be tilting it after bottling my last batch. I had so much sediment in my bottles... some of the smaller bottles look like the bottom quarter is entirely filled with yeast. I had used wyeast 1388 for this strong belgian ale. Not sure if that level of stuff in the bottle is normal for this style. I'm pretty sure it was all yeast because it didn't taste terrible like hop muck would.
Any ideas? think it will settle more after another couple of months?
