Help!!!!

If anybody sees this in the next 5 min it will help me...I am brewing a batch right now and I accidently put my hops in at the bigining of the 60 min boil for about 2 min before I realized that they were supposed to go in at 45 is it ok if I took them out and waited to put them back in?

Well I guess it don't matter now for the time limit, but my question still stands.

your fine. nothing to worry about. check your irc window

Taking them out and putting them back in won't hurt anything. You could even have left them in. The difference between a 60 minute and a 45 minute boil isn't that much. You likely still would have been within the IBU range of your intended style (since you didn't post how much of what type of hop at which AAU I can't say for sure).

Cheers!

The hops I used at 45 and 30 were Fuggles @ 4% AA and Northern Brewer at 15 and 5 were @7.1%. The batch turned out a little higher than expected OG...I was looking for 1.056 and ended up with 1.061. NBD tho, just a little bit more alchohol thats all. Question: At what OG is a beer considered a "big" beer?

I think 1.070 is where Wyeast says you need to start adding more yeast, but is there an actual definition of a big beer? Probably not.
