As i explained in the introduction forum, im a first time brewer, brewing 5g of lager from a kit as we speak. One problem though, i followed the instructions in the kit exactly, but forgot to take the starting gravity with the hydrometer provided. Its been 3 days since i started to brew, and have left it in the airing cupboard as its the warmest room in the house, and my house is damn cold. I decided to take a reading just in case, i opened the lid (there was a build up of pressure in the barrel), and could see where the brew had reduced, from the residue at the top of the bucket. I took a reading, and it looked bleak, it read around 1.018 :|
Have i ruined my batch? What effects does this have?
