Ok, I've learned over the last year of brewing not to drink (too much) on a brew day. I deliberately start the day sober and will not partake until the grains are in sach's rest.
So, while perfectly sober, I set up a tote with 5G of water and forgot to put Starsan in it. The entire day, I 'sanitized' various items with tap water. My thermometer (over and over again), brew paddle, mash tun, hops packets, air lock and finally fermenting bucket.
Not one item, the entire day was sanitized.
That was one week ago. This unsanitized IPA is still sitting in my ferm chamber. I can either dump it or I can secondary next week with additional hopping in three weeks.
What do you think? Should I dump or carry on?
I'm worried about infection, permanently infecting my primary bucket, getting sick when I drink the IPA, giving my friends diarrhea.
