Cleaning vs. Sanitizing

[Opivy]

I did the exact same thing with my first batch... I don't see why they say everything included when there isn't a sanitizer.

My recipe was a brown ale, and it ended up having a slight wine like taste. (kinda vinegar) it was barely noticeable though, and after 2 weeks in the bottle you really had to concentrate to taste it.

So, I would say definitely keep it.

Another vote for PBW for your cleaner, and starsan for your sanitizer. Both very easy to use. I doubt there is anyone on these boards that didn't mess something up with their beer.
