Again, people that are use to drinkingcommercial drinks will notice yeast flavor more than a person wholikes natural bottled conditioned ales and beers. Just put yourbottles in the fridge for 3 days. Then gently pour into anotherclean soda bottle. If you do it right you will get most of the drinkout of the primary bottle leaving a few ounces at the most behind.All of the lees (sediment) will remain in the old bottle. Thenput the secondary bottles in the fridge for 8 to 10 days. The amountof yeast flavor is very slight at this point. The amount that ispresent compliments the overall flavor of the drink in my opinion.ORGINAL POSTER: ramjammn
