Well I made a stupid mistake when brewing over the weekend and I think I've ruined my first batch in 4 years of brewing. When I put my immersion chiller in my kettle it trapped a nylon hop bag down on the bottom of the pot and a fairly large portion of the bag melted on the bottom of my kettle. When I tasted the hydrometer sample it had a subtle smoky flavor but I'm more concerned about any toxic chemicals that may be in the beer from the burnt nylon. Does anyone know if this beer will be safe to drink or should I just dump it now?
