Yesterday after pitching the yeast and sealing up the lid on the fermenter, I realized I did not get a hydrometer reading. So I got my beer thief, rinsed it off well and then sprayed it with a spray bottle I prepared with diluted five star sanitizer (iodine based).
I broke my batch up into 2 fermenter buckets each using a different yeast. This one that I used the thief on is not bubbling in the airlock where the other one is wildly bubbling away. The one that is not bubbling had WLP001 and I have safale 05 in the one that's bubbling.
Could it be that perhaps the thief sprayed with the sanitizer did something to kill the yeast? If so - is it ruined or can I try pitching more yeast?
