Default yeast nutrients

I bought yeast nutrient for a cider and have so much left I am using it in my beer. I added the nutrient directly into the carboy when I pitched the yeast and was ttold later I should have put it in the boil. Of course I now have concerns with contamination. Do I need to be concerned?

Probably nothing to be concerned about. Isn't that the same way you use it with cider? In any case, i would just throw the nutrient in near the end of the boil. No worries at all that way. Cheers!

yeah, i wouldn't sweat it. unless you have a reason to think the nutrient was contaminated, you're surely be fine. next time just throw it in at flameout, then you'll have no worries.

Give a man beer and his thirst is quenched. Teach a man to brew and it will never be again.

Yes, that is how I did it with the cider but the package was unopened when I added to the cider. Thanks for your thoughts. I won't sweat it.
