Hi All,
I've been stalking on this forum for a long time, getting up some useful information about brewing.
I tried to find someone who had a similar misadventure to mine but couldn't find it.
All I could read is that yeast are really tough, so I may be worrying for nothing. But on the other hand, sodium metabilsufte could be a problem when in contact with beer since it's a sanitizer.
So here is my problem;
I transfered my beer in my carboy for the secondary fermentation. I put an airlock on it, that I filled with a solution of sodium metabisulfite (about half a teaspoon in a cup of water). But I put the airlock before moving my carboy to it's rest place.
When I grabbed it, the pressure created inside did raise the solution in the airlock, thus dropping into my beer.
I believe that about 10 mL of the solution went into my beer (my carboy contains 5 gallon of beer).
I would like to know your thought on this situation, if this could have big issue on the outcome of my beer because I'm really anxious about it.
Also what is the tolerance of the yeast facing sodium metabisulfite?
Hopefully you guys have good news on that
Thanks and Regards,
Phil.
