For starters, I am a woman so maybe these things don't come naturally? I love to drink beer, so why not brew some?!
My boyfriend has all of the equipment, and since he is in the Navy I decided to impress him and brew stout while he is gone.
So I brewed last weekend. Followed instructions, took my sweet time.
I first out it in the plastic carboy to ferment with an airlock. First full day, airlock was active. The whole week following... Nothing.
I had a strange feeling my seal on the carboy was off, so I did something possibly stupid this morning.
I transferred my 1 week old stout into the plastic cfermenter using a large brew strainer/funnel.
Is this going to be okay?!
I do feel much better about this seal... But did the transfer just ruin things?
It is my first ever brew so if it's a lost cause, I will learn from my eagerness. Any thoughts are welcomed!
