First time brewer oops lol

Thu Feb 23, 2012 9:05 pm

Pretty successful brew altogether, but I got overzealous, and added the liquid yeast and the 1oz citra pellets into the primary at roughly the same time. Will this affect fermentation? And also should I add another 1oz of citra or something else to the secondary in & days or so? Any and all help or criticism welcome.

It won't affect fermentation. The active fermentation, however, will scrub out a lot of the aromatics from the citra. You will want to dry hop again after fermentation is nearly complete.

Boy, if thats the worst that you did on your first brew day, then I would call that a success!!

+1 to that! Exactly what I was thinking. OP, congratulations on your first brew!
I wouldn't use me as an example.
