I've just set-up my first home brew and started the primary fermentation.
I bought a Brubags kit and followed their instructions for the first steps for a 5 gallon batch.
My fermentation bucket is also for a 5 gallon batch. I filled the bucket to the "recommended fill line" which was marked on the side of the bucket. Unfortunately the lid popped off overnight and the mix was exposed to the air.
Two questions:
1. Did I overfill the fermenter bucket?
2. What are the chances of infection and how will I be able to tell?
I'm a complete novice so keep it simple!!
Cheers
