First of all, here is my informal introduction! My name is Cody and I have been brewing since december. I am on my 4th batch of beer right now, and I am making Papazian's Rocky Racoon Honey Lager.
This is only my second non-kit, and full boil beer. In my haste, I filled my pot with water, and began the boil. Adding necessary ingredients at the correct time. After having added all my ingredients, I realized that I forgot to make a wort......
The last batch I did, I did a 3 gallon boil for 30 minutes, then added everything else and boiled for an hour.
So my question is, because I added everthing at once to my 6 gallons (5 gallons after evap.), am I screwed? My fear is that the large amount of water will not be able to absorb all the ingredients properly.
THOUGHTS? Thanks from a Newbie!
