so quick random question. i brewed a peanut butter porter yesterday, and it wasn't the smoothest brew day for some reason, just felt off all round had a big boil over and made a mess in the garage... darn. i chilled the wort down to 70 pitched the yeast (S-04 dry) and left it to do it's thing in an area with about 63 ambient temp. right before i was headed off to bed, i noticed that before fermentation started, the wort was still cooling off, and sucked some of the sanitizer solution (star san) from the airlock into the carboy. how might this effect the final beer? i know they always say don't fear the bubbles, but what about a tablespoon or more in a 2.75G batch? any weird or off flavors? today when i got up it's off to the races, and bubbling away as normal, but NO krausen on the beer, but that could be from using the powder peanut butter in the last 5 min of boil?
cool! thanks!
