Coffee filter for tea addition at bottling

[Paul Barleycorn]

So, I made a tea from chopped ginger, a cinnamon stick and a vanilla bean yesterday. After a short boil, I cooled the tea a bit, then ran it through a coffee filter, let that cool further and then added the tea to the bottling bucket. I didn’t think about sanitizing the coffee filter. What are the chances of an infection from the filter? Thanks!

Not a lot. Once beer is fermented the ph level and alcohol content make it pretty inhospitable for anything that might spoil it.
