Aeration

[Mattyc88]

Hey guys, if I forgot to strain going into the primary, is there anyway to do that before bottling without aerating the beer?

I haven't strained since my first batch. Why are you straining?

I dont want any hop sediment.

After 2-3 weeks in primary, the hop sediment should be pretty firmly settled into the trub/yeast cake. When you rack into the bottling bucket, hop sediment probably won't be an issue.

You could try attaching a grain bag to the end of the siphon tube, but like I said before, I don't strain anymore. Everything in the kettle goes into ferment. I could never tell the difference. I also use hops bags during the boil. Personally, I wouldn't risk it, like the previous poster stated, it drops out anyway.
