I love this method, but always end up with some lees in my bottles after the week of carbonating. Does anyone else run into this, and is there a way around it? I want to check because it could just be sediment, as I only filter through a mesh bag, which is not very fine.
If you are going to bottle condition, i.e. have the yeast in the bottle and eating up some sugar to produce CO2 in the bottle, you will get a small layer of yeast at the bottom of the bottle. If you get the rid of the yeast before bottling (by cold-crashing and filtering, for example) then you would need to force carbonate it in a keg.
