hi guys,
i am new to brewing and currently have my first batch in the works atm from the coopers micro-brewkit.
however i think i might have been too excited and rushed the process as i didn't read the instructions properly or stumble on to this site until i re-read the instructions and realised i may have stuffed it.
okay here are my concerns that i am hoping an experienced brewer can help me with.
1. i did not take a hydrometer reading at the start, i figured i checked it at the end, did not realise that i needed an OG. i am now 24hrs into the fermentation stage.
2. when i put the yeast in (from the coopers lid) i just chucked it in then stirred it through, but upon reviewing the instructions it said to sprinkle the yeast over the top.
3. no action in the airlock at all, so i opened the lid to check it out this morning and there is a lot of foam buildup but no sludge ring.
any help at all will be appreciated (even if its pointing and laughing at the noob).
cheers.
