Tried searching this, seems overnight really isnt a big deal. However, my situation is as follows:
Started brew day Friday afternoon, mashed in, got low efficiency, (but that's another topic), and then ended up having to go out for dinner (unplanned). By the time I got home, was just too late and unmotivated to start the boil as it would have taken about at least another couple hours to complete, which would have put me close to midnight and i had work early next day. Decided to let it sit figuring I could boil it next day which was Saturday after work. Well work ended up running late Saturday, and found out i have to work late all day Sunday which is today. So now my next available time to complete this brew will be Monday around noon time.
So the wort will be having sat for approximately 72 hours. Is it safe to continue?
Should I just toss it? It was a mesquite wheat kit from my lhbs for about $23 and i still have the hops and yeast, so I really only lost about $15 grain if I have to toss it.
What's everyone's thoughts?
Its currently sitting in my BK, at full pre boil volume at approximately room temp of about 65 degrees.
Can botulism grow in these conditions or is there anything else that could have gotten into it?
