I'm getting ready to try my first brew, and I had a few questions. I have a Brewer's Best Deluxe starter kit, and I'm brewing an amber ale from an ingredient kit that has all my ingredients in it.
1. I've been reading about Irish moss for clarity and gypsum to fine tune the water. Will adding these to my recipe make a noticeable difference in my beer?
2. How much more difficult is the process when you do a secondary fermentation? I want my beer to be good, but I also want to reduce steps that may ruin my batch because I don't do them right?
3. Any other tips or rookie mistakes to avoid?
Thanks.
