I brewed my first batch of beer last weekend, a Coopers IPA Extract kit. In the hustle and bustle of brewing, I forgot to sanitize the bowl I activated the yeast in. It was clean but not sanitized. As soon as I realized what I had done, I sanitized a container and transferred it. So, here's the question: did I ruin the beer? Should I dump it out and start over? It was only about $20 so it would be no big deal. How badly does contaminated beer taste? Is it dangerous to drink? I would really appreciate any suggestions. I feel like quite a bonehead over this one. Any ideas?
