I was reading some of the threads on here and I ran into a couple of mistakes that I made.
My stove isn't the strongest out there by any means so I ended up using a lid for the boil. I used a kit and it didn't say I couldn't use a lid. Why is this a bad thing?
Second. I didn't even think about it, but since I was doing a partial boil, the directions said to add cool water to the fermenter. I ended up adding the extra water to the wort while it was still hot, almost boiling. It's been a couple of days and it seemed to me that it was/is fermenting really well. Should I expect a bad beer?
