Holy crap! I finally screwed up! I knew this was going to happen one day!
So last time I brewed I used my new wort chiller & when I was done I put it in my bottling bucket which was full of starsan to clean it up. Well, some how the lid got put on the bucket( i blame this on my bro but we were drinking ) & I forgot it was in there. anyway 4 weeks later I get around to bottling & there it is, the bucket stunk, part of the copper was shiny & the tubing had a film on it. So I tried to clean it out & put new hot starsan in & rinsed. still had a slight smell. but being in a hurry & already having everything ready to bottle I went ahead & used it. I'm now thinking maybe I shouldn't have? maybe this smell will get in my beer? Guess I'll now in about a week...
thinking of just buying a new bucket, any thoughts?
