Ok... I am a NOOB
I was getting my system down. bought another 5gal carboy so that I could have 3 going.
As a matter of fact. I have:
Texas Blonde Ale - in one Secondary - in week 2
Imperial IPA in secondary #2 just starting to condition.
And I was in the middle of making an american pale ale.
Things were great .... dreaming about kegging my Blonde ale in a week...while
I had my wort on ice and the wort chiller going.
and I was in the process of sanitizing my primary - (already cleaned it) - and I used (for the first time) my tea kettle to heat up water to mix with my solution.
BAD IDEA... the water was too hot and the primary CRACKED!
I freaked. Then I thought I need to get this wort into a different container.
I have growlers. So I quickly cleaned and sanitized them and moved the chilled wort into 4 growlers. I did not pitch yeast... of course.
My local supply opens at 10am. If I get my butt down there and get a new primary and then transfer the wort over and pitch the yeast.. will I be ok?
Long story I know.... in my head I think I will be ok... I was very careful through the process.. I just wonder about wort sitting without pitching yeast into it.. if that is going to be a big deal
Thanks for the info.
