    Yes. A paint shaker works best.

    Can't stand it.... I don't mind wasting an once or two to keep it in the bottle.

    I had a 2 yr old Titan IPA once. Full of floatie things. Was it nauseating to look at? Yes. Did it taste bad? Not really. Am I still alive? Yes. Will I do it again? nope.

    Weizen is the only style I actively try to get the yeast into the glass because it's an intended part of the beer (ok, well sort of). Otherwise I don't try to get it in but I also don't worry about avoiding it.

    This has been posted about a million times. No need starting another unless we want to beat this dead horse.

    It really depends on the beer and my mood. A little is okay, but I'm not real keen on those half inch yeast cakes you find in some bottles. Lately I've not been stirring them up like I used to. I have wondered about centrifuging beer at times when I find a really nasty looking brew.

    I dig it. I usually save it and make soup at the end of the month.

    I get every last bit of it I can out of the bottle, then I drink it.

    after getting infected with some crazy yeast strain during my time in oregon i tend to pay a lot more attention to the yeast and sediment in the bottle/glass.

    my whole body broke out in hives, and i'll just say that as a man getting infected with yeast is quite possibly the worst thing in the world. also just to ease everyone else, its very rare to have happen as a guy i just happened to be super unlucky :angry:

    I usually decant, save a couple oz in the bottom, swirl, and slam the yeast shot in one gulp. Keeps the hangover monsters at bay. Except hefeweizens, that gets dumped right in.

    I used to follow RR sours directions on pouring slow and leaving some in..but it's such a shockingly little amount I stopped. However I did have a belgian blonde with orange zest once that had tons of zest settling at the bottom. I already wasn't enjoying it that much, so i decided not to pour in the extra residue.

    Yeast in the bottle = "free" yeast for harvesting
