Hi everybody,
Stupid mistake I know but I'm just putting my brew into fermenter and I can't remember whether or not I rinsed the Antiformin S I sprayed to sterilise the FV out or not. I spray so there shouldn't be much in there but will it kill the yeasties and ruin my brew if present?

Worst case scenario, you'll delay the start of fermentation for a bit, but yeasties are tough and tenacious little buggers and require a concerted effort to kill

I've chucked in my new fishtank heater to keep temp around 21C. Glad that's the worst case scenario.

It's chlorinated, so if you'd didn't rinse thoroughly, your beer will almost certainly taste absolutely foul.

Re: Will steriliser kill my brew?
I'm currently waiting for keg space right now. I'll have to break into it soon though. It fermented out pretty quickly (3 days) so I figure it might already be pretty thin.gregorach wrote:It's chlorinated, so if you'd didn't rinse thoroughly, your beer will almost certainly taste absolutely foul.

Re: Will steriliser kill my brew?
Update: Easily drinkable. Rather bitter (AG kit, Twisted Stout from the Malt Miller) but still drinkable. Not sure if bitterness is antiformin or just the flavouring.
