Thanks, I've only bottled one 5 gallon batch of beer before this but I assume it's similar in that I get as much as I can while avoiding the trub and solids. Would it be smart to pass it through a coffee filter or similar while racking to my bottling container or during bottling. I could also...

I started a JOAM batch in September. I hid it in the dark corner of my pantry because I care for my elderly father has dementia and I was worried he would mess with it since I noticed he would ask what it was daily and it always caught his eye. Cue pandemic and non stop work and it fell through...
