I'm a first timer at brewing (and to this forum), and seem to have made a few errors in my procedure. Hopefully someone can help me out on these. Both batches are taking place at present. Batch 1 is in secondary, 2 is in primary. Both are for ales.
Batch 1
Just racked it yesterday (1 day ahead of schedule) as bubling had all but ceased, and it stunk of dead yeast. Now there's less bubbling than prior to racking, and I wasn't planning on bottling it for another week.
Batch 2
Since I'm new, I've done everything with extracts, not grain. Problem is I bought a can of malt extract that I used in this batch, and I now realize that it probably doesn't contain any hopps. The previous can was a kit, with all the goodies ready to go, so I didn't notice the difference. Seeing as how it is in effect preservative-free, what can I do at this stage? It was started Saturday night, and I won't be able to get any hopps until Wednesday.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do here to set things straight? Thanks much.
