My wife went and bought me a hydrometer today. I started brewing this evening and after I filled my fermenter up to five gallons, I went to get my OG reading and discovered that the hydrometer was broke.
I went ahead and added the yeast even though I didn't know what the OG reading was. Should it be OK?
Also, when I was pouring the wort into the fermenter, I noticed alot of crud in the bottom of the kettle. I thought I had stirred real good. I took my stir spoon and got all the crud into the fermenter from the kettle. Is that OK too? Thanks for your help.
