gahh!!! for 2 years I have not done ANYTHING that might lead to an infection. I'm METICULOUS when it comes to that. today while I'm bottling my swamp nut brown ale and siphoning it to the bottling bucket I have a clamp up near the edge of the bucket that keeps my racking cane from flopping around and dropping all the way to the bottom and picking up trub from the fermentor. as I'm JUST about done with the siphoning I pull off the clamp and lo and behold it slips out of my hand and into the brew bucket. I reached in and grabbed it but now I have a 50/50 chance of it infecting my brew since it wasn't sanitized ... now for the nightmare of waiting 3 weeks + to see if I boned this one up
