Hi everyone, I'm very new to home brewing, and have just made a rather monumental error on my first batch. I bought a Woodfordes Wherry kit to give it a go, I followed the instructions and put the beer upstairs at the right temperature in the fermenting barrel. After about 30 hours I had a look at the brew, but it was doing nothing. I then looked at the instruction sheet from my fermenting barrel kit! error...... It said I should add 1kg of sugar. Whoops I thought, and added my sugar, I couldn't believe that I had missed it from the original instructions.
The beer started to get a good foamy head on it over the next 24 hours. Then I looked at the proper instructions...... "This beer does not require sugar to be added".
Have I just made 40 pints of sugary rubbish which should be poured away at once? I really should read instructions properly.
Any advice would be well recieved.
