Hi all,
I've been living on this site getting an awesome amount of free tips and info for the last month and tonight I attempted my first brew. I even snuck off early from work (claiming stomach cramps) as I was so eager to get into it.
I have searched around for the answer to my question so please forgive me if its been covered. I've also read and re-read til I am having dreams of bathing in my own beer, but alas, I am an idiot.
I used an IPA recipe someone kindly posted on here as such:
can Coopers Brewmaster IPA
can Coopers Liquid Light Malt
100 g Brew Enhancer 2
packet Morgans Fuggles Finishing Hops and kit yeast
In my excitement at mixing everything up, I forgot the enhancer. I had everything in the fermenter, including the fuggles bag and pre-pitched yeast and was smugly standing back staring in wonder and lust at MY beer when my most co-operative other half happened to ask me "what is this stuff for?"
In that moment of sheer terror, and without running to my pc to look it up on here, I ripped open the lid, threw in the powder (dry, not mixed) and stirred madly. I haven't been as panicked since my mum caught me smoking in the shower 25 years ago, and I am now grieving like my own other half just got hit by a bus (which for a moment I would have rejoiced over).
Is my brew stuffed? I am worried as I stirred the yeast and the fact that the enhancer was dry and clumped in the fermenter.
Sorry again if this has been answered and cheers to any replies
