Just don't shake the bottle too much. Then this stuff keeps on the
bottom. Then carefully pour the beer into the glass and you are done
;-)
Ok, a litte bit of this sediments will get into the glass (especially
if the bottle is nearly empty), but the very most will keep in the
bottle.

That's the way, I'm "filtering".

I haven't any practical experience with filtering directly before
drinking, but I expect the beer will get moldy.
