Wow, very impressive! I realize it was still early, but I totally understand your desire to taste the "direction" of where it was going. Looking forward to how your brewing technique grows! Cheers!!

thanks!

If you pour it without glugging it you don't disturb the sediment in the bottle.

it's way too early.

I am curious about how much sediment you get in you home brew, and if there is any way to reduce it. I made my first batch yesterday, and and trying to decide if secondary fermentation is necessary before bottle conditioning.

I'd re-name it an amber ale. A porter is a completely different animal.

Dave, how long should you ferment and do you need to prime the bottles with corn sugar before filling? thanks for your time!

I'd let the primary fermentation go until you don't see any activity in the airlock or blowoff tube. Generally 7-10 days. And yes, if bottling I do add some priming sugar to the bottling bucket just before filling the bottles.

I racked my beer to a secondary after 10 days and let it sit in the secondary for another week. I then siphoned the beer off into a bottling bucket and added primer sugar so it would carbonate in the bottle. The only sediment in my bottles were from the extra yeast that grew to bottle condition the beer. Very little sediment was left in my beer.

It turned out more like a Bock by taste. The recipe was a porter but due to the large amount of pilsner light malt used as a base it turned out much lighter. Still - tasted pretty good after about 6+ weeks in the bottle.
