Sediment.

[Chippy_Tea]

I read a post tonight about sediment in bottles and the fact its unavoidable and you need to be careful when you pour it (it comes up fairly regularly), i remember seeing this video months ago, has anyone used these or seen these for sale?

If anyone is interested in these be aware they dont fit ANY Uk bottles. Only US/European screw top bottles

Well, yes, sediment in bottle conditioned beers is indeed unavoidable.
However, what is entirely avoidable is having a bottle of beer that is difficult to pour. There is no need whatsoever to make beer that is bottled when very cloudy, and which throws a huge sediment when allowed to settle. Simply have a little more patience and bottle your beer when it's pretty clear anyway.

Also, there were things about this promotional video that annoyed me - I only got half way through before jumping ship.

Didn't he say "They've thought of everything, they're amazing, I haven't tried them yet" and then try to do a politician's extrication?
Whatever, he definitely did say "I bottled it last night, it's not clear yet". Yet?????
I gave up at this:
"One of the concerns that we had …...Err, that I had, and talked about it with the company..."

For me, a poor promotional video of a dubious product. Just brew your beer properly, no undue haste, and I'll bet that you'll end up with a product at least as good as using these things.

I like that the reason for your edit is 'clarity' when talking about cloudy beer! :)

I think they would be good for bottle lagering if you didnt have a brewfridge

He was discussing the fact because the bases have cut outs they can be put back in the box for safer storage and will fit perfectly.

Whatever, he definitely did say "I bottled it last night, it's not clear yet". Yet?????

Again he was discussing whether the angled shoulder of his beer bottles would catch the sediment.

"One of the concerns that we had …...Err, that I had, and talked about it with the company..."

Maybe you shopuld watch the full video before pulling it to bits especially the end where he discusses his relationship with the company.

Aye, you're right, perhaps I should have.
But I thought I'd given it more than a fair crack at half way.

I actually watch a fair bit of this person and have watched this particular video and checked the product out as it is for sale on a big online retailer and they were around £16 plus postage from down under.
Never did purchase though.

I remember one old trick from years ago for screw top bottles, which is to turn them upside down for carbonation, the yeast collects in the neck of the bottle, then when it's fully carbed you place the neck of the bottle underwater and just crack the cap/top so as to discharge the yeast plug by internal bottle pressure. When this is done, turn over bottle to normal position and allow things to settle out. Trouble is I can't remember how successful it was and I haven't tried it since I restarted brewing. Anyone else remember this?

I saw that vid a year or so ago. Craig is an ok guy. He's quirky but has great tips.
I just think that the price for each one, the amount of bottles your going to use, doesn't make sense. That's a good pretty penny. I just condition in a keg the bottle with a beer gun. Way less sediment and you can drink the bottle right then and there.

Have a look at this by artyb -

i store my pet bottles upside down in a box in the dark for a few weeks,
the sediment settles in the cap,
them i crack it open over the sink [still upside down] and the sediment is flushed out,
only an eggcup full of drink is lost, and its as clear as a clear thing...

If you follow Craig at all you'll notice that's the only vid you actually see any of that type used as he mainly kegs.

Have a look at the second post here

Had a look. I wonder if artyb is still with us, and still practicing the upside down bottle method?
Anyway, since I use PET bottles I think I'll have a go, and then 'report back'.

I just started watching Twin Peaks again, she's remarkably similar to Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn).

On topic, I have a wheat beer chilling upside down also.
