Hey guys,
Bottled my second batch today, but only the first I've done solo. I thought I was so careful to keep the racking cane away from the bottom of the fermenter, and left a couple of inches behind in the fermenter to avoid getting the sediment.
But, with several beers' worth left in the bottling bucket (I was using spigot to tubing to bottle filler), my bottle filler clogged with sediment. I only ended up with 37 beers from a 5 gallon batch because I ended up having to bail out after I contaminated the bottle filler while trying to unclog it.
Any ideas why I would have ended up with so much sediment after being careful to leave it behind in the fermenter? Need to step up to a secondary?
Thanks in advance.
