Hi everyone.
Although I've read up and watched videos on how to brew from kits, I made a mistake.
I'm using a Cooper's Premium IPA kit. Added the concentrate to the boiling water, stirred, added more water to 23L, checked the gravity and then added the yeast. (I was trying to read the directions, but evidently skipped a part).
I then realized that I didn't add the dextrose and dry malt extract! I quickly added both and stirred.
My questions are:
1. The dry malt clumped and I couldn't get rid of them. Is that OK?
2. Will all the stirring to mix the dextrose and dry malt affect the yeast?
3. Am I to add liquid to the air lock and stopper so that I can monitor the bubbling?
Thanks for your help!
