Sediment in the bottle

[trustyrusty]

Hi Guys, just curious ....I don't really have an issue with sediment. It normally forms on the bottom of the bottle and sticks ( and is quite hard to move out, have to shake bottle at rinse) ..maybe the last pour there is a touch but nothing serious. I was looking at these special caps you can buy to remove, seems a lot of fuss for not much...Normally use long necks..

Anyone else have a problem with sediment...No issue?
cheers

Never had a problem with it when I was bottling no. I do cold crash my brews for at least a week prior though, and this helped reduce the amount of sediment in the bottles.

Now I keg and use isinglass to drop the yeast out prior to kegging. When the kegs are empty they have hardly anything in them, maybe two or three bottles worth of yeast sediment in the whole 19 litres. Admittedly some of it gets sucked up in the first glass or two but the stuff definitely works.

When I bottle the excess after kegging, sediment is not normally a worry.
I assume you are refering to sedex caps. These are very handy to use on bottle beers you want to take to parties as you dont have to keep the bottle up right and movement isnt a problem as there is no yeast cake to disturb.
They arent real cheap and they only work on screwtops.
