So I brewed my first porter about a month ago (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f126/choconut-porter-54159/) and everything went fine until it went to bottling time. There was so much sediment after the fermentation that the racking cane would continually clog up. I cleaned it out a couple times but having to resterilize it while bottling was annoying so I just decided to grin an bear it. It probably tripled my bottling time (im so glad I am going to switch to kegging soon.)
Is there a way to keep things from getting terribly clogged up? Would putting a stainless mesh filter over the exit tube (inside the bucket) help? I know I could put it in a secondary and probably save myself but I am not really interested in doing a secondary yet.
Btw, I did a BIAB and I doubled up on the paint strainers.
Thanks
