Per the manufacturer Not to worry; your wine is fine. I would doublecheck your sulfite if you can, because the One Step will consume some of it. If you don't have an easy way to check sulfite levels, simply add 1/8 tsp of potassium metabisulfite (dissolved in a few ounces of water). That...

Ha! Per the company ... Not to worry; your wine is fine. I would doublecheck your sulfite if you can, because the One Step will consume some of it. If you don't have an easy way to check sulfite levels, simply add 1/8 tsp of potassium metabisulfite (dissolved in a few ounces of water). That...

Did this effect the beer? I made a similar mistake today when transferring wine!!

Did the beer turn out ok? I just made a similar mistake with a small amount in the bottom of a carboy on wine transfer.

Do you have the recipe you used?

It's been 5 years. Did the ballast point turn out!?

Makers mark. Makers 46 if you want a slightly sweeter flavor. I've had good results with both.

A bourbon stout I bottled July of last year. Time has served it well.

Good. Enjoy. Heavy full beers like the scotch ales will really improve over the next few months, not weeks. Some of those flavors you can't put your finger on may vanish in time. You will also learn that your second batch should already be well on it's way by this point. Nothin more worrisome...
