Star San in my fermentation bucket

[Jrm1443]

So I took a couple years off from home brewing and just started up again. After I brewed an extract kit I put it in an ice bath to cool down to 100°. I then put it in my fermentation bucket and added about 3 gallons of water that I had in Individual gallons in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, I have been using one of the gallons to store my star san mixture in. As soon as I started pouring it into the wort I could see that it was somewhat cloudy and I stopped pouring immediately. My question is, have I ruined the whole batch of beer?

You'd need a lot of Star San solution before you "ruin" the beer. It will most likely be fine.

I’m hoping so, thank you !

Well, it's definitely a learning experience. Make sure you label all of your brewing gear and chems. It will most likely be fine.

Yeah you will be fine. The owner of 5 star says that once it goes over a certain pH level (2ph I think) it turns in to a nutrient for bacteria etc. It's also made of food grade ingredients that are found in food etc. I believe he said he has even drink it on occasion to prove its safety...

You've maybe lowered the PH of the beer by maybe a smidge. That is really all.
