Well to most of you this will seem imature but after just fermenting for a week and then bottleing, a system I used for over 20 years, I discovered this forum.
I have just bottled clear beer that has been in a Secondary for two weeks. and I cannot wait for it to carbonise. I used the 1 2 3 system and I am wrapped.
I have always decanted my beer into a jug to remove sediment but I am hopeing that the small amount of sediment left after the bottle is primed will be insignificant.
That is one reason I did not use Grolsch bottles as I like a perfectly crystal clear beer to drink and decanting from a small bottle does not seem appropriate.
I am about to make some darker beers so knowing the sediment level will be great as it is not as apparent in those types.
Just for interest on longevity I have had beer stored for over two years and was sorry I did not have more.
I will stay away from kegging as that would make the beer too available. I just keep a couple of bottles in the fridge.
