I shouldn't just spout off. Of course, we should all try to minimize
the sediment we bottle. Personally I don't use a secondary very
often, impatient. But I do rake my beer carefully to the bottling
bucket, and try to leave the serious trub behind. That all gets feed
to the septic system where, hopefully, the yeasty beasties go to work
again.
