Hey everyone, any help anyone can provide me with my dillema would be greatly appreciated...
Yesterday i went out to the local home brew store and decided i would buy a kit ( I have never done this before) . today I started the boil, everything was going fine, and I poured my wort into the plastic bucket ( which I had just washed out with a dilute bleach mixture, thats ok right?) . as soon as I added the fourth gallon of water into the bucket I had realized I forgot to add the gypsum, irish moss, and pellitized finishing hops during the last 5 minutes of the boil as specified in the included instructions.
I right away dumped in those missing ingredients along with the dry yeast right into the bucket, gave it a quick stir with an unsanitized (but clean) ladel from the drawer, set the lid on and here I am worried i might have destroyed the batch.
if its going to come out sub-par i think i want to just scrap it and start over off the bat, rather than wait 3 weeks to find out....
should it come out alright? was that way risky of me to use an unsanitized ladel?
thanks again! have a nice day :rockin:
