Bottling from primary

[berwood]

Hi guys,

Quick question from a newbie that i'm hoping you can help out on.

To date i have bottled straight from my primary using the tap on the carboy and a bottling wand with no issues at all.

This time round I have added dry hops and with bottling day approaching at the weekend the samples i have taken so far have had a lot of sediment in them as it doesn't seem like the hop sediment is settling at the bottom.

In hindsight I should have used a hop bag, but is there anything i can do to try to reduce the amount of sediment making it into the bottles with just the equipment i currently have, and not racking into a separate carboy/bucket? Is my best bet to try and cold crash for a couple of days and hope it settles out?

Any help would be appreciated!

Cold crashing will settle the hops out within a couple of days.

+1 on cold crashing. Get it as close to freezing as you can get, without actually freezing your beer. Another option is to add a fining like gelatin.
