Hi so I would like to know if I ruined my first beer ever
So the recipe that I'm using is Briess light LME 9lb with Cane Sugar 1lb and saphri 1oz @ 1 hr and additional one 40 minutes later using Safale T-58 yeast. The instructions were terrible and I added the yeast after I added 5lb of ice to the 3.5 gallon wort immediately after finishing boiling. Per what the beer store seller instruction. I did not pitch the yeast, just threw it in dry. There were no bubbles in the air lock until about 18 hours after the fermentation. After about 2.5 days I decided to shake up the fermentation which the ambient temp has been 76 degrees constant and now at a full 3 days there's no more foams in the wort. Should I add more yeast? Did I screw up too bad that I should throw away what I did? Should I just wait and see what happens? I feel like after reading in these forums AFTER I did what the sheet told me to do per the brewing store that my beer will end up horribly.
