A Novice mistake.

Alright guys i brewed yesterday for the first time, and it went amazing. It is a Pale Ale and it was a blast. We did everything the way it was said to be, but i made the dumbest mistake. When i transfered the wort into the main fermenter i forgot to take a hydrometer reading! I didnt realize till the morning and the air lock is going NUTS! So i did not want to disturb the yeast from their munch out session. What should i do?

If you used a kit, trust the kit and expect this beer to achieve all the targets the kit was designed to achieve.

Many of us can;t remember what the hydrometer is for anymore.

If you post your recipe, somebody on here will calculate what your OG is (or should be).

I wouldn't worry about it. A hydrometer won't make the beer taste any different. I'd take a hydro reading be for you bottle it to make sure its done fermenting. you don't want beer bombs

Yes it was an extract kit, and it was a Warrior Pale Ale from austin home brew supply.

NP then. So long as you hit the volume right at the end (5 gallons, I'd assume) then you're OG should pretty much be what the recipe says it will be.
