First timer here - never done this before.
My wife wanted a brewing kit for her B-day, so I hooked her up. It was to be her project. We got a pale ale kit for the first run. I studied the process a bit, and I believe I understand all the basics. Too bad she didn't.
She did everything fine (from what I saw), followed all the steps, and the vapor lock started releasing gas within 24 hours. So far, so good.
Three days later, she realized that she had added ALL the sugar that came with the kit (unknown to me) - including the priming sugar. It isn't bubbling anymore, but it was for the first couple of days. It's been about 6 days since she started it.
Did dumping all that sugar in ruin the batch? Can anything be done, is it worth waiting out, or should we start over?
