Star san got introduced into finished un carbed beer

[nastybrew]

Well my beer had finished fermenting and I decided to cold crash before kegging . I put my glass carboy and a pitcher half full of sanitizer in the fridge with the hose from the carboy going into the pitcher to prevent air from entering the carboy, but the temp change sucked all the sanitizer into my carboy. Is my beer ruined?

What volume of beer in the carboy and what volume of Starsan was sucked in? A small percentage of Starsan in your beer won't hurt it, and the yeast will break it down.

5.5gal in the carboy with prob 2-3cups of sanitizer

It should be OK.

Assuming that the sanitizer was properly diluted, I do not believe that the amount you stated will affect your brew. If it was a gallon or more, then probably. Like has been suggested, try some. It won't kill you but you should know pretty quick if there are any off flavors from it.

What kind of "sanitizer"?

He didn't say star san....

Always remove the blowoff tube from liquid when cold crashing.

You sure?

Yup. And switch to an s-lock...

Cheers!

Doh! Didn't notice the thread title on this one was different than the title of the other identical thread he started.

I posted the thread twice because I thought this might be the wrong forum after I posted it already
