Clear Bottles=more Sediment?

[peas_and_corn]

One of my friends who acts as a source of bottles for me (since I don't buy beer any more) gave me some corona and tooheys extra dry bottles. After chastising him for it and his excuse 'it's my sister's'; I took them home. I used them and other bottles (there was about 10 clear ones) in my spice beer. Now, I've noticed that the clear bottles tend to have more crap at the bottom than the brown ones. Why is this? Is it something that happens all the time, or is it also influenced by the fact it's a spice beer? I used US-56 as the yeast, would this have had an impact?

Cheers,

Dave

Are you sure it's not just that you can see the sediment better in these bottles? :unsure:

I would be astounded if there was a difference between clear and coloured bottles besides that you can see in them more easily.

Those extra dry bottles these days suck as I might add, as you cant remove the label its burnt in!

I agree :lol:

Good Day
TED and corona bottles are relatively narrow so the yeast would be deeper on the bottom compared to a toohey's new bottle, maybe?

It's certianly possible; it looks as though they contain more sediment; they may not... hmm...

I'm not too fussed about the labels- I don't touch them anyway; I throw the batch number onto the cap and that's how I identify them! I don't like the fact it meant someone somewhere bought a tooheys extra dry carton.

Yeah I am pedantic cant stand having the labels on there! - However I do make my own labels albeit just little letter ones with the name and bottled date. - Makes it easier when picking that nights drinks.

Did you fill these bottles last out of the fermenter? I tip the fermenter up to get the last few bottles out and end up transfering more yeast to the last few. If it's not that then it's one of the other reason outlined above.

Barry`s answer looks like the solution to me.
