Well I brewed my first batch of beer ever so I guess I am no longer a homebrew virgin. I brewed "Windriver Brewing's - Old Glory American Pale Ale". They just moved to my neck of the woods from Minneapolis.
I only had one mishap. The strainer in my funnel would not stay in place so I still have the hops in the brew. I didn't have any cheesecloth or any thing fine enough for the pellets. I didn't think it would be that much of a problem based on some of the postings on here about "dry hopping" as well I plan to put in a secondary after 7-10 days. Will this result in a beer that is too bitter? Please correct me if I am wrong and tell me if I messed up or not. Other than that everything went smooth and it smells good.
