Hi guys, first time brewing on Monday Night...More questions than answers at this point. First off..I'm excited for this new venture and love the smell of brewing!! OK...The kit I bought was came with ingredients and instuctions but the more I read on this forum the more I think I might have screwed it up.
1st question: If the wort isnt at a rolling boil the whole hour, will it impact significantly?
2nd: The instructions stated to cool the wort, put it in the carboy and pitch the yeast...I did just that. (I followed the instructions on the yeast - 4oz of 80-90 degree water and mix) My question here is: Should I have mixed the wort in the carboy after pitching the yeast? Instructions didn't say that...
Thanks!
Brad
