I searched on the subject above and could not find an answer,, so here goes.
I brewed a hefeweizen yesterday from a kit, and realized that there was no hops in the kit after I was already boiling. I called my LHBS and they said not to worry. The kit called for less than an ounce of saaz hops which was very low in bittering (3.x AA) and that the yeast would eat the sugars and the beer would be fine.
I would have driven there but they are 45 minutes away and the beer was boiling. So now the beer is fermenting without hops.
.
Any suggestions? Will it be fine or is there a way to add hop bitterness etc at this point?
Edit. after posting the message a number of suggested topics came up that are very similar so I will review them. Thanks for your thoughts anyway.
Thanks
