Adding a tsp of sediment to a bottling bin

[brew mountain]

Hi, Just bottled my 4th brew and I read somewhere that if it's crystal clear add a tsp of the sediment to the bottling bin.

Is this a good idea and does it do any good?
Didn't do this time just in case!

Thanks DaaB, I'll give it a go when I put my Springhead Bitter on!

The way i ensure this is to put all the wort from the fermenter into the keg.

I use a tap on my fermenter and let the wort run into the keg, when it gets quite low the wort has become a bit cloudy with the sediment in the base mixing slightly. If you stick all the wort in, including some of what is normally left behind you are also allowing a small portion of the yeast over to the keg to help prime.

its also means you dont have to worry about putting a spoonful of sediment in. less work = more beer time.
