Bottling without sediment

[Jaoqua]

I have to admit I prefer bottled beers to be without sediment. Obviously there are some lovely bottle-conditioned beers, but they need to stand and to be poured carefully. More often than not I have a yeasty pint.

So, if I wanted to bottle my home brew without noticeable sediment, how could I do it? I have no special equipment and I like my beer to have some fizz.

A good yeast will help, Muntons Gold or Safale04, as will giving the bottle a good chilling beforehand, and pouring swiftly and gently. I'm at that awkward inbetween stage in that the beers I'm drinking now were made when I first got back into this. At that point (long long ago in June) I rather foolishly was using the supplied yeasts. FOOL THAT I WAS!
I now know better but must wait for the fruits of my labour.
It's the waiting I can't stand though.

I don't know the answer to this, but I'm guessing that ideally you need to let your beer fall bright in the fermenter, then somehow gas the beer up in the bottle. For tha you'd need special kit, something like a soda-stream?

You need a cornelius keg. You can transfer bright beer here, then carbonate with an external CO2 supply over the course of a few days.

Then you need a method of getting the beer from the keg to the bottle. You could just use a piece of tubing connected to a tap, and fill from the bottom under low pressure. Or you could use one of the fancy pieces of equipment made for bottling from kegs, like the Blichmann beer gun or the Counter-pressure bottle filler.
