I'm taking samples of my swartzbier thinking I may bottle today but the beer I pull off has lots of floaty hop pellet remnants in it. How can I avoid having heaps of floaty hop bits in my bottles?
I'm using a coopers fermenter BTW and I've even tried tilting it away from the spigot so that the spigot isn't right at the bottom. Part of the problem could be that it's still windy here. Should I try bottling after it's had a calm day or two to settle? Is there a filter (nylon?) I can use?
Also how do I avoid this in the future? Should I have put my pellet hops in a nylon bag?
Thanks for the help!
