Mixed up starsan according to the directions, soaked all my stuff well before it was time to use, sprayed anything that couldn't fit in the bucket.
But several things (thermometer, paddle, hydrometer) had to be used more than once. To be safe, i sanitized them before each use. This, obviously, brought a few drops of the wort over each time I dropped them into the sanitizer, leaving it cloudy toward the end.
Still about a week away from opening up the primary bucket to take a first reading on it, so i have no way of knowing if i have any sort of infection yet...
How does one deal with that? Is it OK to get a little wort in the sanitizer? Should I rinse them with tap water before putting it back in the starsan?
Tried searching for this problem, but google only seems to give me results about sanitizer in my wort, not vice versa.
