I cannot believe the mistake I made today! Today was bottling day of my first 5 gallon brew. I went through each step as planned out and then during cleanup afterwards I realized that I couldn't find my Easy Clean no rinse cleaner anywhere. When searching through my equipment and boxes, I came across two packets of priming sugar, which I thought was strange, because didn't I use one of the two just a couple hours earlier? That led me to the trash can to see what I threw away and behold, there was an empty packet of my missing Easy Clean! My friend was helping me out earlier and when I asked him to get the priming sugar and cut open the top he grabbed the Easy Clean instead! Now that every one of my beer bottles are capped, it was Easy Clean instead of priming sugar that was used - So I am guessing I just ruined my entire first batch of home-brew due to not realizing that I added the Easy Clean in place of the priming sugar! Being it is a no-rinse cleanser, I guess at that strength (4 oz) is harmful. So, is there anything that can be done?
