Hey everyone,
First time brewer here; just made my first batch and I feel like there should be a cause for concern. I was misinformed about PBW and was under the impression it was a sanitizer. Eager to make my first batch, I didn't read too much into it as I thought I was set and was too busy reading about everything else.
Everything I used soaked in PBW and was rinse just prior to me using it, however, there was no sanitizer. I also used the PBW water in my airlock, but I have not had any overflow. I am just about to enter the bottling stage of my process and was wondering if it may be too late for my beer, or if the PBW soak and rinse was good enough
This is a total bummer, I knew I should have just bought the Star San, too.
