Hoping for some helpful advice. I have recently just brewed my first all grain batch of beer after trying a couple of kits and I am coming up to bottling stage. I have one bucket for fermentation which I have finished dry hopping in and am now ready to bottle. My bucket has a tap on which I attach my bottling wand to but as this is the only bucket I have fermentation and dry hopping has been done in this too.
Each time I have taken a sample from the tap to check gravity there has been quite a lot of sediment/trub coming through so am worried that when I bottle I will get a lot of it coming through into the bottles.
With the original kit I bought there was a nylon bag which I have previously attached over the end of the wand that goes into the bottle to do some filtering.
Is this process ok to follow or does it risk any issues with the bottle conditioning? Are there any other suggestions on how not to get my bottles full of trub? I have bought a syphon but would ideally prefer to use the wand when bottling. Thanks
