Ok, as my name suggests, I've never tried this before. My instructions that came with my beer mix didn't mention the airlock, and like an idiot I didn't really think there was anything wrong with the fact that there was a hole in the cap of my brewing canister. I'm using an "ale pail" 5 gallon bucket, btw. It came with an air lock, but I guess I just didn't realize what it was for.
What I'm curious about is, since it brewed with the bacteria and open air able to get into the bucket the whole time it was brewing, what are the problems wht that? I'm sure the beer will be spoiled, is that right? And I'm guessing it might be bad to even drink it, since bacteria were able to grow in the brewer.
Guess I"ll probably just have to buy another mix and actually do it right this time.
Thanks
