Hey all,
Bottled my first brew yesterday. It smelled amazing, tasted good, everything went really well. But, I have a question, how do you get the last 1.5 or so gallons out of the bucket / carboy (no secondary) to your bottling bucket with out sucking up the yeast and hops? I feel like I wasted some beer. I tried tipping it a bit, which only stirred up that yeast cake at the bottom. I also tried attaching a coffee filter to the end of the siphon when I transferred it to my bottling bucket which did not work out well at all. Thanks! :rockin:
