Hi everyone, I brewed my first batch last night. It was the irish red ale kit from northern brewer. I think I might have made a mistake though.
The kit comes with hops pellets that needed to be added for the full 60 minute boil. I added the hops and boiled for 60 minutes. The instructions didn't say to strain the hops out of the wort before I put it in the primary. I made sure not to pour any of the sludge at the bottom of the pot into the primary but there is still a decent amount of hops in the primary.
Is this going to ruin the beer? or will it just be extra hoppy? In the future should I strain the wort before putting it in the primary?
