I just began brewing my first batch of beer and when I poured the 2.5 gallons of wort from my pot I saw burnt malt extract on the bottom of the pan.
I'm going for an IPA on this beer and I used:
8 ounces American Crystal/Caramel Grain - Steeped about 35 minutes
3 pounds light dry malt extract - Added while bringing to boil before hops
6lbs 9oz. of Light/Pale Malt Extract Syrup - Added @15 min (left in boil)
1 oz. Pilgrim - 60min
1 oz Columbus - 1/2 @ 20min, 1/2 @ 5min.
2 oz. Cascade - 1 @ 10 min, 1 at 0 min.
How likely is it that my first batch is ruined? I'm going for a really clean hoppy beer and now I'm afraid all I will taste is bitter burnt malt extract. What are the odds this will now taste like crap, and is there anything I can do?
Thanks.
