combining wort to balance and filtering before bottling

[Alcoholica]

Hi,this is the first time I had something go wrong like this..I probably should upgrade my gear now..

I still use Mr beer kegs ,4 of them. I've been pretty busy to start with anything else or do anything. As a matter of fact I had enough ingredients to use in 2 of them lbk kegs and I wanted to use the ingredients before they got to old..

I had two containers of briess and a bunch of cascade pellets and some safale 05..
But my issue is that one lbk is very hoppy. The muslin sack must've been to loose. It taste good in fact I like the flavor better than the wort in the other lbk..If I could mix the two it would balance out nicely .. But is there a way I could do that and not ruin it?

My other question is there are a lot of hop dust floating around..I planned on putting sugar in my bottles today. But I was wondering if I could combine these beers pouring them into my other lbks using a muslin sack to catch the hop dust to filter them. Then pour them into the bottles. Or would this filter to much yeast for bottling....

What's the best thing.....maybe I should bottle it and deal with cloudy beer. It taste ok... well the hoppy one does.....thanks

If you like experimenting, mix them up.

You certainly will not filter out the yeast with muslin. Yeast cells are microscopic. What does not sound right is "pour". Pouring will add air to your beer causing oxidation. You didn't mention how long these beers have been in the fermentors. More time might allow the hop debris to settle and then you can siphon both the beers to the bottling bucket and bulk prime.

It's time to bottle them.But it's been 9 days..it just carbs better and taste better if I don't bottle before 9 and after 10 days doing it this way with the lbks and stuff...I add sugar to the bottles I don't do a primary and secondary and have all that 5 gallon stuff yet...It's Mr beer gear for right now..I didn't think I'd be able to pour them together. But I have to use the gear i have,no siphon hose or buckets just 4 lbk's I have a long glasstube used to bottle the beer..

maybe I can siphon them both into the other 2 lbk half and half and then bottle them with sugar in the bottle. Only if I manage to pull off getting a siphon hose..never done a bulk prime sounds like I might water it down....I'm so pressed for time,ill have to look it up ,thanks for the info.

This will be my last batch until I can get some better gear it almost got me this time..thanks

You could go to a supermarket that does cake decorating, get a 3 gallon frosting bucket for $0.50, add a spigot, and then you would have a bottling bucket.
A spring loaded bottling, to attach to the spigot, simplifies filling the bottles. Head space is automatic.
A hydrometer would eliminate the risk of exploding bottles, caused by a fermentation that finishes in the bottle. Some fermentations may not finish in the time line mr beer states in the recipe.
