Tap water splashed into cooled wort...

[MEPNew2Brew]

All I have to say, is that didn't most of use start with partial extract boils and add tap water to top off in the bucket to ferment?

I sure did. Infections = 0.

I had finally got it cooled down, slip of the hand resulted in some tap water splashing in. Not very much. I just went again and pitched yeast and put it away. Are there any chances of this messing up the batch?

if you've ever done an extract in a small kettle, you generally add tap water to get your 2.5gallons to 5 gallons.. and many times you also chill the wort this way.

no problem...

There are far worse things that could go wrong on brew day. Such as forgetting to sterilize some other brewing utensil. I think getting some tap water in your cooled down wort would be the least of it, anyways you should be fine.

Good to know. I've always done full extract boils as I have a large kettle so I've never dealt with top ups but always thought you had to use pre-boiled or bottled water. I feel much better!

The guideline I use is: if i would eat/drink it i will put it in my beer. Every item around you has bacteria on some sort in it, even after sanitization. We do the best we can to suppress unwanted bacteria and promote colonization by the microbes we select to produce beer.

We do the best we can let the beer gods take care of the rest.

I rinse all my equipment in tap water after cleaning it. No problems yet...

I have a similar situation. I was just cooling down some wort and the tube from the blowoff valve on the Spike Brewing conical 15-gallon fermenter (bada$$) had some back pressure and sucked up a good two or three cups of garden hose water in an un-sanitized bucket I have no idea what I used for last straight into the wort.
