Filtration

Filtration is completely unnecessary and a waste of Mine. It is impossible to make home brew with no sediment at all. Good technique will keep it to a minimum and a genuine beer yeast will form a firm sediment in the bottle which gives no trouble in pouring.
A fining agent used at the end of the primary fermentation can hasten clearing but be careful not to use too much, or you may not have enough yeast cells left in the beer for the secondary fermentation.

Serving home brew

The art of serving home brew is to decant clear beer into a serving jug, or glasses, leaving the sediment behind in the bottle with the minimum quantity of beer.

The beer should be chilled in the refrigerator and carefully handled so as to avoid disturbing the sediment.

If serving into glasses, line up the glasses. Carefully remove the bottle cap. Pick up the first glass, tilt, run the beer slowly down the side of the glass bringing the glass to the vertical as it fills. Put down the full glass. Do not return the bottle to the vertical. Repeat with the next glass and so on, until the sediment starts to tin forward to the neck of the bottle. Cease pouring. Take the next bottle Cheers!
