- To get a fizzy bottle of beer, lager or cider when home brewing, the easiest way is to bottle with some sugar so you get a secondary fermentation in the bottle.
The trapped CO2 is dissolved into the beer and this makes it fizzy.
This causes some sediment in the bottom of the bottle.
To pour the beer so you get a nice clear pint is very easy, you just have to be willing to sacrifice a small amount of your beer in the bottle to sediment.
In a commercial brewery, they will clear the beer and then force carbonate it just before it is bottled. This means there is no sediment in the bottle so you get a clear beer all the way to the bottom.
With home brew, the yeast sediment in the bottom of the bottle can be drank. In craft beer, it is recommended to agitate the bottle before pouring as the sediment has lots of flavour.
It’s up to you.
You can buy a beer keg like a corney keg, pressurise it with a clear beer to carbonate it, then bottle and cap and you’ll have a clear fizzy bottle of beer.
But if you dont have a bottle of gas and a corney keg setup and want fizzy beer, then you’ll need to bottle it and there will be some sediment in the bottom of the bottle
The key to getting a clear pint is a slow gently pour, avoiding glugging so you dont disturb the sediment, then keep an eye on the flow of beer in the neck of the bottle and as soon as you see a swarm of sediment, stop pouring.
Cheers & happy brewing
I was always told not to drink the sediment as it will cause the runs
Thats an old wives tale.
Brewers Yeast is good for you in many ways.
