First things first;

I flipped through the first couple pages of this forum section and didn't see my question, although I'm certain it's been asked at some point. But I posted a pretty newbie question the other day and everyone was really helpful so I figured I would just keep asking questions as they came to me.

So I bottled my first batch today using an auto siphon. Once it stopped flowing I looked into a the bucket and saw about 2 inches of clay/mud like sediment. I assumed this was not something I wanted to put into my priming sugar and then bottle.

Then I thought to myself (after I had bottled all the beer), what if the sediment included the yeast needed for carbonation.

Am I completely off base here? Or will my 'decent' IPA be flat even after 3 weeks.

Thanks

Plenty of yeast cells were still in suspension. You are better off leaving that stuff behind.
