Yeah, a bit of a strange title.
I often watch beer reviews on Youtube, and if it's a bottle conditioned beer, the reviewer more often than not will pour most of the bottle, then swirl the remainder before adding it to the glass.
Now, the majority of my homebrews go into bottles and I've always been cautious about avoiding pouring the last bit into the glass.
I don't mind a hazy beer, but if I do the "swirl and pour" at the end, will it be ok, or have me running to the toilet at some point?


Cheers n Beers.
 
I leave the sediment behind, it's not great for My bowel. Sediment is normally only added in certain styles. Mainly wheat Beers, Belgian wit's. I can't drink beer with floaters 🤮

Yeah, it can make you a bit gassy. It's not really appropriate to style, and apart from the styles that Samale has listed, it just doesn't taste great.

I leave the last cm in the bottle along with the sediment when I pour it too.

With wheat beer I will pour it all, but I won't deliberately swirl the entire sediment in, so you get some yeast haze, but not soup.
 
Thanks for all your replies. I mostly do IPA's, so will be a bit more cautious when pouring. Occasionally I condition some in 2L pop bottles, so will decant into a jug first, before pouring.
