Hi Everyone,
I just bought a Great Canadain Homebrew Co. Micro brewery for $20 at a garage sale still sealed up and never used... I was so excited to make my first batch of beer I just blindly followed the instructions listed... i sanitized with bleach(1/2 tbsp / 12L water), some items were only in the bleach water for 1 minute, others for 1 hour... and quickly rinsed everything ( for like 10 seconds ) and then just threw the yeast in with cold tapwater. The instructions were not specific on these things, so I didn't assmume there were any time limits for sanitation and rinsing, and I didn't read anything about starting the yeast off in warm water for 15 minutes. Did I just waste my first batch, or will it turn out not too too bad?
