Hello everybody, quick question about an issue I stupidly did not consider yesterday, until now...

I brewed yesterday and my dry yeast was ready on the vial just before pitching it into my wort and then I saw just a little bit of DME extract lying in one plastic bag, I gathered about a 1oz and I pour it in the yeast vial and stirred.

The yeast water was of course boiled and clean, but I didn't consider to boil the DME to pour it... Am I screwed? It will get infected due the DME? I just completely forgot about the contamination issue :(

Help me sleep tonight telling me everything will be ok.
 
Yeah, you're fine. Especially if it is still in the bag from the manufacturer. The process they use does a pretty good job of keeping everything sanitized.
 
Phew, thanks. Yeah it was from the bag, leftovers basically. :eek:
