starsan in fermenter

[themox]

hey guys.

tomorrow i'm planning on on bottling a big IPA i've made, and tonight as i was checking it over i had noticed a few things i was a bit worried about.

i used a blow off tube with the end of the tube into an open 1.25L cola bottle with about 4-500ml of starsan - the end of the tube was sitting in this so as to not let oxygen in.

i had crash chilled the beer for 5 days, and stupidly didn't remove the blow off tube so a lot of starsan went up the tube. it didn't go in...until i picked the bottle up and the suction ended up sucking in a bit of the starsan into my beer.

i know starsan is okay when used just before a brew in the fermenter and such, but could 100ish to 200ish mL ruin a batch? the starsan was sitting open in that container for 2 1/2 weeks is all.

i hastily opened the lid of the fermenter and all the remaining starsan drained, but this let a nice load of oxygen inside it...would that be ok too?

kinda panicked, but i think i should be ok. any thoughts?

thanks.

Yeah u should be fine, happens alot to noobs (myself included). I use better bottles and the dimple at the bottom caved a bit under the weight of the wort, sucking it in from my S lock. It was my first batch, i did it late on night and almost lost my marbles at 2 in the morning when i saw the pressure change suck it all thru.

Either way though, just RDWHAHB, ur on ur way to some great tasting brew.

Not to worry, everything will be fine.
