I have this problem too! This is my first year with real filters, a wool cone and prefilter, and a big flat (orlon?) filter and flat prefilters.

I filtered it boiling into a big coffe urn and then bottled in mason jars, and it looked fine until about a week or two later when now I can see just a small fine mist of sediment in each jar.

Guess I'll try this settling trick next year, thanks.

What if I let it settle in the urn? Will the flow out the spigot draw sediment up? Or should I just siphon from the top?
