chip clip (binder clip) in boil

[tommyguner03]

i noticed that some how my binder clip had gone into the boil. i tried to get it out but failed.. is my 10 gallons going to be undrinkable from this lil binder clip?

I'm no expert but I am pretty sure this is one of those relax, don't worry, have a brew situations. I would guess that at worst a miniscule amount of plastics cooked off into your beer but in a ten gallon batch I really doubt you will taste it, and I'm pretty sure you could eat one of those chip clips without it killing you. Good luck.

Was the clip painted or unpainted? If it was unpainted then it's probably fine. If it's painted then you will have to decide if you feel OK with the risk. I'd probably still drink it personally, I just wouldn't share any with other people.

I agree. At least it was not your cell phone like some have dropped in
