Today I made a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Clone (partial grain/extract). When i finished brewing I transferred the wort after straining it to my bottling bucket and adding additional distilled water to bring volume up to 5 gallons. I added the yeast before transferring to 5 gallon glass carboy. (i have always done it this way and works for me). Anyway, i had some left over yeast and i added to the carboy and washed the neck with distilled water and put the blow off tube on and set the carboy in the closet for fermentation. While cleaning up I noticed my gallon jug of 1 step no rinse cleanser was "right there"! Nearest I can figure is I added 5 ++ ounces of sanitizer to my wort by mistake. I always make a gallon of sanitizer and use a spray bottle as needed. I had 3 gallons of distilled water in similar gallon jugs and grabbed the wrong jug by mistake. So, i am thinking i ruined the beer?? Any thoughts?
Alway, pay attention to what you are doing and where your equipment and cleaning supplies are. my excuse, I was in a hurry to finish up and get cleaned up so that I could take care of other family business since it is Saturday. poor excuse but the only one I can think of without admitting i was sloppy.
