Greetings guys,
I recently started homebrewing and have made a few kits successfully (all extract) from northernbrewer. A couple weeks back, I got that "itch" and decided to make my own recipe and see how it went.
I ended up with an IIPA with a starting grav of 1.081, expected FG around 1.018. Left it in the primary for a week, and then racked it to the secondary and dry hopped. This thing smelled very, very boozy.
My question is: I totally forgot to sanitize the bag i put the hops in (pellet hops) for dry hopping. Is my brew doomed to be skunked? I forgot to check the grav when I racked it to the secondary, so I'm not sure what the ABV was. I did taste it, and it definitely smelled like alcohol...if that helps.
Thanks in advance!
