Hey guys, so I did my first AG batch yesterday, just a nice American Amber. I had a slew of problems: I missed my gravity readings by a ton (post boil target was 1.056, and I hit 1.045). On top of that, after I cooled with my IC, something came up and I had to leave. I didn't have a chance to put the beer in the carboy, and didn't pitch yet. The pot of cooled wort is in my laundry room, covered in tin foil, where it spent the night.
My questions are: is the major miss in SG going to kill the taste of my beer? and is my beer definitely infected? Is it worth racking to the primary and pitching? or should I just dump it and try again next week, hopefully without the major interruption?
Thanks for your help guys!
