How long do you usually wait? Is there a reason not to immediately bottle after filtering? Is there a benefit of further de-gassing after filtering? Is this passive, or do you stir?

I wait until I have time to get all the bottles clean and go back and bottle it....usually a few weeks

I usually wait a couple weeks. For reds I usually use a coarse filter and there always seems to be some additional fall out after filtering. For whites I don't usually filter as I fine with isinglass all the time, and sometimes even precede it with bentonite filtering. However, I use a .4 micron filter on whites where I have retained some residual sugar, usually Gewurztraminer or Pinot Blanc. In this case, I see no problem going right from filter to bottle.
