So I bottled my beer 4 days ago using carbonation drops, it's my first time and at the bottom of the bottles it is all cloudy, is that normal?
Ah ok so will this clear up over time? Just for aesthetic purposes?
You cannot avoid it when bottle conditioning, but clear beer will minimize it.
The way to avoid it is by using a beer gun which transfers clear pressurized beer from a keg into the bottles.

Has anyone used these caps to remove sediment yet? Been tossing around getting a few just to see, but don't really know if I care.........Kinda like the sediment. A reminder that the beer your holding is truly a craft beer!
Ok cheers, do you have any tips on how to avoid it in future brews?
Sounds good, I've never seen sediment in beers in Australia, I'm a bit of a rookie so was a bit worried
We get folks like that on here all the time, who think there is something wrong because their beer has sediment in it, or want to filter it out. It's really a culture thing, you don't so much of that in the rest of the beer world. Like the hefeweizen...that is swimming in yeasty beasties...
The fact remains, however, that many of my friends are unimpressed by cloudy beer. They can't get beyond the appearance of "cloudy homebrew". Those same people always comment positively on the clarity AND TASTE of kegged or beer-gunned crystal-clear offerings.
