cannot remember if i sanatized

[Chia]

So i brewed on saturday, and got out of my regular rhythm. no, as i am thinking, i dont know if i sanitized my carboys! one had PBW, the other had PBW with a quick rinse, dont know why I did that! city water, should be fairly clean... Oh well, it is fermenting anyway...

Probably fine. City water especially is usually loaded with chlorine. You're not using PBW as a sanitizer, right? That's just a cleaner.

I've done a batch once with only a rinse from city water and no sanitizer and came out just fine (in my limited defense I had help and they sanitized the bottling bucket rather than the fermenter). Granted, I wouldn't recommend it but at this point the only bad thing that can come out of it is bad taste.

DWB.... Not Driving While Black but Drinking While Brewing.

It's ok I do it all the time.

Well you can also get a bacterial infection if you don't sanitize properly, not just bad taste...
For now just relax and see what happens!

Yes but, at least as I understand it, the bacterial infection would make it taste bad but should in theory not hurt you. Besides, you could luck out with that one in a billion tasty bacteria find!
