Help! I added the recipe's honey with the fermentables (instead of at 5' of boil). Did I ruin my Irish red?

😅

UPDATE: turned out great! Ginger is there but not dominant, will brew again!

thanks for the replies! the batch went to the sink, it was undrinkable.. tried a new one with a different dry yeast, finding liquid yeast here in Greece is really problematic. let's see if it fixes the problem

It's been 3 weeks in the bottle. Till now as I leave it in bottle the lemon flavor intensifies..:( It surely is better than the urine smell (according to wife:)) it had at the beginning! I'll check another yeast, it's true that all my attempts have been using dry mangrove yeast.

Ahhhhhh thanks, now it makes sense. Happy new year!

Hallo! A quick noob question: Is abv the same as vol? I brewed a 4.4 ABV irish red, what's the vol I should be targeting for priming? Thanks!!
