The big advantage to using clear glass bottles is it is easy to watch
the sediment.

Store bottles upright, transport gently, pop the top slowly, watch the
sediment and just stop the pour as the stuff slides into the neck -
easy to keep the loss to 1/4 ounce or so.

If you are getting too much head, pour slowly down the side, into a
pre-wetted glass. Avoid rinsing (water sheeting) agents if you wash
the glass in a dishwasher.

Sediment does affect taste, but it depends on lot of variables. High
in B vitamins, usually a little bitter. Next time you pour leave an
ounce in the bottle swirl it and try tasting it from the bottle.
