Chloramine in Cooled Wort

[DaveDiedDancing]

I feel like I’m being overly paranoid, but while chilling my wort today (6 Gallons), I noticed a small leak where the hose meets the chiller and some tap water full of chloramines got into my wort. My estimate is probably only a tablespoon or so as it was a very slow leak and I caught it pretty quickly. I used to be on a well and am not sure what the threshold is for problems related to this. Thank you all in advance.

Relax. Don’t worry. Have a home brew. No damage done at all.

Thanks rburrelli. I was hoping it was just my neurosis.

No, there could be some perceptible damage. But I'd still relax and wouldn't worry about it. You might be able to pick up a chlorophenol note in the beer or not, but I'm betting that nobody else would.

Thank you Martin very much for the response. This beer actually was headed to a competition. I’ll probably still enter it so I suppose time will tell. Thank you again.

One tablespoon? Chill out.

From one tablespoon? I respect your opinions Martin, but I don’t agree that it would be perceptible.

No worries, if so, have 2 homebrew
