I have been brewing for a long time, but I think this question really belongs here.
I recently switched sanitizers to Star San because it is supposedly a no rinse sanitizer. Today I took a cup and a half of beer wort out of my primary with a thief that had been well sanitized (and dried) and dropped it into a clean measuring cup. I resanitized the bung and air lock, and replaced it after shaking most of the liquid off and no suckback of the air lock water occurred.
The krausen changed from a nice solid green-brown flocculent hop and yeast bed (toward the back of the carboy in the picture) to big iridescent soapy bubbles (front). What kind of off flavor can I expect?
I am disappointed because the bit I had before dumping it in my bread dough was marvelous.
