Another Rookie Question

[waynevilla]

I done a batch of Wilkinsons Pilsner started at 1035 down to 1005 happy days and bottled 32 500ml glass bottles and they are still in phase 2 currently 10 days in the bottle. But, the tap on my fermenter is around the 5Lt mark so am I to waste the excess or am I to carefully syphon the rest out trying not to disturb the settlement at the bottom of the fermenter. If I tilt the fermenter towards me it will keep coming out but the settlement will mix in.

Easy way is to ferment in one FV and syphon into the one with tap then bottle that way no sediment and you can tilt as much as you want. You should be able to tilt your FV gently without disturbing sediment anyway but using second FV would be easier
