Ok, so a friend got me a Mr Beer kit for Christmas, so I have embarked on my first homebrew journey.
I followed all the directions except that I added a cup of light brown sugar to the boiling booster before adding the beer mix (West Coast Pale Ale). I've since heard that cane sugars are generally a no-no, and that I should have boiled it for at least 5 minutes if I was going to use it at all.
Anyway, I fermented it all for over 2 weeks, and then bottled it with about a half teaspoon of white sugar in each bottle. As I was bottling I tasted some, and it was a bit yeasty but ok.
What do you think? Is my beer going to taste like crap?
