Hi.
I've been lurking around for the last few days, as this looks like one of the most active homebrew forums. I'm sorry for my first post on here being a questing, but i hope to contribute more when i get on with my brewing.
So, here it goes:
I've recently bought myself some equipment for a home brewery, and went ahead with my first yeast starter (for my first ever brew) just now. Even though i know it is very important to keep germs from entering the wort, i somehow forgot that for a few minutes today.
When i took the pot off the heat, i immediately put it in a sink of cold water, without the lid on, letting it sit there (with a sanitized thermometer), until it was down to about 130°F. I then woke up, and poured it over to my erlenmeyer flask. The flask is now closed up with a sanitized piece of foil.
Should i be worried about this starter?
