I made a bitter ale and everything went great until the primary fermentation ended and I tried to rack from a plastic carboy to a ale pail. My racking cane came apart and the bottom half fell into the carboy and i was only able to get half of the beer out. So I used my bottle filler minus the little valve on the end, attached it to my racking cane with a short hose and mouth siphoned the rest of the beer out. What happens if I contaminated the beer with my mouth ? Can someone get sick? Is there a sign that the beer is bad beside killing myself?
