The title says it all: I made my first major brewing mistake this PM. I forgot to dump the Starsan in my fermentor (about 1/2 to 3/4 gallon, I guess) before pouring my wort. Since I do Maxi-BIAB, I was about to add water anyway, so I just added less than I was supposed to.
I will go ahead and pitch the yeast, but what would you do? Even if Starsan is "no-rinse", I doubt that there should be that much of it in the beer...
- Would you simply dump it?
- Do you think it breaks down with time?
- Will the acidity kill the yeast?
(I'm pretty bummed, as you can imagine... Everything had went super well up to that point..!)
