I hate sediment!

[jjward101]

I hate Sediment-when sharing homebrew with others who haven't had homebrew before. I thought i had read here somewhere about kegging first, using the co2 to blow out the sediment, then bottling. I just cannot seem to find it using the search box.

Doeas anyone have any idea how to do this? Does it add any substantial amount of time to the process? and will it have an effect on my finished product?

Gracias.

If you bottle off a keg there is no sediment.

Search "we don't need no stinking beer gun"

Use a carboy for secondary, give it a couple of weeks cold conditioning, hit it with some gelatin for a few days and then keg. Force carbonate and enjoy sediment free beer. Fill bottles from the keg to take to friends and events.

How long are you keeping your beer in primary. 4 weeks will get you more clear beer.

I used to have the same issue, as well as the pain in wasting the last 1/2 oz so you didn't get the sediment in the glass.

I've since switched to Kegs. Makes brewing beer 100x more enjoyable and significantly less work. The first glass or 2 will have sediment after it's been carbonating in the fridge for a week. After that, crystal clear.

I do use Irish moss also, not sure how much that helps but this combo works for me.

Irish Moss is a fining agent that helps to clarify your beer by causing small proteins and lipids to aggregate and fall out of suspension.
