Hey peeps, ******* here. Apparently directions are too difficult for me cause I'm severely worried I screwed myself here. Details: First brew ever. Found a starter setup on craigslist(Billingtons Microbrewery). Bought Brewers Best German Oktoberfest kit(lager, I'm an idiot). Mind you the startup kit is just a 5 gallon carboy with accessors. Cooked the LME, DME, and hops as directed. Got approx. to desired 72* range with cool down of wort, into carboy, pitched yeast. Well a day and a half later no ferm. so tossed in a packet of yeast I started on the side. Fermed like mad 3 full days. 2 weeks later not much action(I know, no hydrometer). Bottled, 3/4 tsp per bottle of priming sugar. What'ya think? I was going off of the old ass instructions from the Billingtons **** instead of the kit instruct. I only read the part about when to toss hops and whatnot from the Brewers instruct. How ****ed am I? Thanks for any ideas. I know I'm an IDIOT, and I'm sure there's no help just wondering maybe how long I should wait(to taste?) or something. Thanks
