What are the chances that my beer will be ruined?

Was finishing up a 10 gallon batch yesterday, and was moving the cooled wort (~8 gallons) to Primary for top off...it was heavy and ackward. As I was pouring it in, a drop of sweat rolled off the forehead and fell right in the cooled wort. Was like slow motion. What do you think.........is it contaminated?

Ignore the part about the sweaty beer

unless you're sweating out arsenic, I think your brew will be just dandy

Welcome to HBT!

There is zero chance that your drop of sweat ruined your beer. You have to work a lot harder than that to ruin a beer.

All is good.

Relax. Don't Worry. Have a homebrew.

You'll be fine. Just say your beer was made with blood, sweat, and tears.

If that was all it took to ruin beer, man would have given up 5,000 years ago.

Just name your beer:

"Old Sweaty Hen"
