Good morning all,
I just received my Cooper's IPA kit in the mail yesterday. I decided "Hey, this should be fun...let's get this going!" I thoroughly sterilized everything that would be touching my beer. I boiled my 2 liters of water and added it to the fermenter.
HERE IS WHERE I THINK I SCREWED UP..... (Please be gentle! )
I was carried away with the excitement of the whole ordeal and sadly added EVERYTHING THAT CAME WITH THE KIT. This includes:
1. 500 grams of Light Dry Malt
2. 1Kg of Dextrose
3. Malt- Hops Syrup - 1 Can
I did NOT intend to add everything but in a moment of massive brain-fart, I dumped everything in the fermenter...and I mean EVERYTHING. I did not measure the 300 grams of Dextrose or the suggested amount of LDM.
I stirred this mass and pitched my yeast. I covered the beast with the lid and noticed this morning that there wasn't any "foaming" going on. Besides the mere fact I did NOT follow directions...(I take full blame on this one) my question to the experts is
Did I just screw up 37.50 cents worth of Coopers IPA and with that amount of ingredients...what (might) be my possible end result if it isn't ruined already.
Ugh... Thanks in advance. Just forgive my noobie-ness!
Thank,
