MattC8 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi All, I'm new to brewing and have just placed my third brew in the fermenter yesterday. I made the Irish Ale listed on the coopers site (http://www.coopers.com.au/the-brewers-guild/how-to-brew/ale/irish-ale). Unfortunately I got a bit carried away with my consumption of beer during the time I was making the brew, and I forgot to put the Brew Enhancer 1 in, until after I had mixed the water (21L), Golden Syrup and Draught Extract in. Fortunately I remembered before I put in the yeast. When I realised, I quickly put in and stirred. Does anybody have any idea if this is going to adversely affect the ferment? Any advice would be appreciated. Regards, Matt PS: Feel free to scoff at my stupidity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC5 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 did u stir it up reeeeeal good? Only worry is that if it didn't dilute, the sugar may fall to the bottom and not ferment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewk5 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 well you mixed it B4 pitching yeast so thats good, so long as you didnt wait to long to mix it in then pitch yeast, & if you stir'd it in properly so it dissolved fully it should be ok. best thing you can do now is maintain the right temp without to much fluctuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewC5 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Home brewing is not that hard, as long as its in there it'll be fine. Ive done some stupid stuff when in a rush and still made good beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattC8 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks for the responses guys. I suppose all I can do is wait and see. Its been about 48 hours now, and it appears to be fermenting along nicely. Lots of bubbles etc... Ill give it a week and take a FG reading. Ill let you know how it goes.
