Not looking for any reassurance, really. Just venting. I made 3 mistakes today that I am frustrated about because two of them came from being in a hurry.
First, when I had the wort chiller going one of the clamps came loose and I got hose water in the wort. Oh well....not much I can do about that one.
Second, because of a mixture of rushing, impatience, and stupidity I misread my thermometer and pitched yeast at 78 degrees instead of the 68 that I was "waiting" for.
Third, already frustrated I sealed everything up and realized I didn't take a hydro reading.
This was my first "bad" brew day. Here's to hoping that it turns out alright.
Okay...I feel better now.
