Star san sucked back into fermenter

[harpo]

10 gallon batch with a blow off tube into 1/2 qt of star San solution. During transfer tube fell back into bucket, sucking star San into keg fermenter.

Pitch batch or RDWHAHB?

This isn't a problem. Star San is an acid sanitizer, and the beer will buffer it in small amounts.

RDWHAHB

Not an issue. To prove a point some guy from Five Star drank a quart of the stuff (properly diluted).

 

[uncommonsense]

In small amounts like foam or what you described, some poeple say its yeast food.

I had the same problem, but it was 2 quarts into 5 gallons. I haven't died yet.

That's one of the reasons we recommend using starsan, and not say, tap water.

Starsan is perfectly safe for your beer. That's why it's a no-rinse.

I've drank it straight before to prove a point and I'm still here.

Maybe not quite as smart as I once was...
