I know, I know, another "is this infected post?" but its different cause I know it is. A friend and I brewed a SMaSH with wet hops, what a PITA!!! Ball valve was clogged from the boil kettle so my friend dipped his hand in StarSan and then unclogged it. We siphoned it into the carboy, tossed the mountain of hops and then reboiled the wort for 5-7 mins and resanitized the carboy. Something came up, and I wasnt able to pitch my yeast in the AM, so I had to wait until this AM (approx 24 hrs after the 2nd boil) but there was already fermentation activity, crap. Should I have boiled the wort longer the 2nd time? Where was the most likely cause of infection, any ideas? I know the arm in the wort was stupid... Thanks!
