I brewed my first batch on superbowl morning. everything was going smooth until i realized that my pot was too small once i had all the malt in (had to pour a little wort out
og was 1.043 probably from pouring some out. i was worried that i didnt areate it enough before i pitched my yeast and i pitched a little too high (78 F).
sure enough though i woke up the next morning and she was bubblin away only 18 hours later.
I only have one question though, how much does it matter how fast you cool your wort? cause it took me an hour+ to get it down to 78. i used an ice bath in the sink too
