So my fermentation chamber went down months ago and I finally got a new one and brewed my first batch of pumpkin beer for the fall today.
As I was cleaning up I saw that the threads of the elbow on my whirlpool ball valve had nasty black mold in them. It wasn't a lot but enough to make me mad that I missed it during my pre-brew cleaning the day before.
Before I whirlpooled I sprayed the inside of the ball valves with star san.
What do you think my chances of infection or off flavors is?
