I started down that track and gave up. Wasn't worth it.

I rack to a secondary cube and put that in the fridge for a week.
The result chills and settles out the rest of the suspended bits.

Then fill up the keg and as it draws from the bottom any sludge will pull first.
A few beers later and you have clear beer.

So given this is in Kits & Extracts, is it possible to filter ones beer then bulk prime and then bottle?

If so what tips or traps are there to avoid?

Or is it not worth it as I will still get the sediment on the bottom of the bottle regardless?


Sorry to kinda hijack this thread...
