Um, just mixed by first brew and just wondering what will be the likely difference if I've made it to 23L instead of 21L. It's a Heineken lager kit and I made it up to the instructions except I got ahead of myself and filled the fermenter to 21L before I had added the kit converter. I then followed the kit converter instructions which added another 2L to the mix. I realise now, after re-reading the FAQ sticky here, that I could have probably added all the dry ingredients rather than going to the trouble of making a separate mix for the converter. Anyhow would be interested in any tips or thoughts on the best method as well as how my brew will be affected with the extra 2L.
Also, forgot to take a hydrometer reading last night after I mixed. Should I take one now? If so there's a slight problem in that I forgot to unscrew the grommet and screw the tap in. Should I tip the fermenter on it's side now to screw it in or wait another few days or a week until it's fermented?
...... and you can all stop laughing now!
