Filtering Before Bottling

Snip
The system was not commercially adopted because it was priced by Millipore.

Cracked me up, got a quote from them once that had me ROTFL, good equipment but they do know how to charge.

Could you potentially cold crash and use finings of some sort, siphon to a secondary vessel and cold crash once more to drop as much yeast as possible, then add a small amount of dry yeast to each bottle? I cold crash and dry hop at 1 degree for 4-5 days but still seem to end up with a lot of yeast in the bottom of the bottle after carbonation and conditioning. It's a bit more effort but might work? I like the portability of bottles when going to BBQ's, friends places for dinner etc. and pouring into a glass isn't always and option. Bottling a few from a keg would be ideal but I don't have the funds to do it at the moment.

Sure but you're dropping out yeast, then adding back in.

Better to gently siphon off, cold condition with finings then just rack to bulk prime.

Should leave most sediment behind, enough yeast to carbonate.

You can filter a keg, force cwrbonate and then bottle using a counter pressure bottle filler.

Crystal clear beer in the bottle everything. But a lot of work...

I wouldn't worry too much about not having enough yeast to carbonate after fining or c-c-ing. Unless you are running beer through a serious filter or barrel aging it would be highly improbable that you would remove all yeast. It can take a little longer to carbonate however I don't see this as an issue because the beer needs time in package to be at its best anyway.

+1 on cold crashing and chilling the bottles well prior to pouring. I'd also add that if you are using 750ml bottles you'll minimise the yeast by making one continuous pour from the bottle into a jug.

There was also a product on the market which reduced/strained sediment in bottles if drinking from the bottle - no idea if it's still available and they were pricey from memory but apparently very effective. Avoid adding a sediment reducer to your fermenter tap though. Waste of space they are.

I think you are thinking of Brodie's Sediment catchers. This Canadian explains and demonstrates their use. Only for screw top bottles though and I've never used them.
