wow!
thanks so much for your answer! it puts me at a great deal of ease! im still relatively concerned, just to cover the bases, so to speak, but i feel A LOT better! we'll see in the coming weeks where it goes, but thanks again so much for that bit of info! it can be a bit daunting to brew...
First time brewing and it was a lot of learning
I brewed an Irish Red Ale, but forgot to take an OG. Recipe said 5-7 days primary fermentation but I did 10. I took a reading and it appeared to be 1.016-1.017, while the recipe says 1.014.
I know now that I should have taken multiple readings...
