As many of you fine fellow home brewers may have noticed, I've made many mistakes on my first dance here. Added water during fermentation, stirred the Wort, temperatures from 43 degrees to 78 degrees, pretty much everything you can do wrong.
I've absolutely learned how to make batch #2 better, but . . .
Do you think I'm wasting my time with this batch or will it be palatable? It's been in the fridge at about 46 degrees for the last day and this is day 4 of the brew. I solved the fermentation temperature issue with a chest freezer and temp control device, but was hoping my inaugural batch won't be a total waste.
Is is better to leave in fridge a bit cold or leave in garage at 78? Temp control device won't arrive for a few days so can't put in my chest freezer yet.
Thoughts?
