My first post to go with my first batch
.I brewed my first batch last night, it was a Brewers Best Classic English Pale Ale kit
. I figured that should be simple enough.
I cleaned & sanitized everything, went over the instructions 3 times and made a quick reference check sheet to go over while I was in the middle of brewing.
Well when I finished cleaning up last night and started to put everything away, I noticed that I forgot to steep the grains DOH!!!!
Earlier when I was making my check list I noticed the grains in the kit, but the package said Crushed Crystal 60L Malt (NOT GRAINS) so I didnt write em down and I forgot to investigate where they belonged in the brew stage (Dumb A**).
Well I am looking at the fermentation bucket full of beer minus the grains. What am I looking at here?? Is this batch salvageable? Will it still taste ok?
Lesson learned,
Jim
