So this is my first homebrew, and i made a couple mistakes.
i didnt have a big enough pot, so i added 5 gallons worth of malt to about 4 gallons of water.
then i forgot to sift the hops out of the primary before letting ferment for 2 weeks.
im about to move it to the carboy for the secondary, but i dont have any hops to add. so is this even necessary?
it was s crystal malt, fuggels hops.
i imagine this isnt going to be good for the taste, but how bad will it be?
also i didnt get sugar for when i bottle, is this a necessity? the guy at the homebrew shop said i had all i need, but i keep seeing this sugar pop up when reading about homebrewing.
Thanks for any inputs.
