Ok guys, I have just made a really stupid schoolboy error.
I had a brew day last weekend. As the FVs were going into the brew fridge I realised that I was out of Starsan and so used a really weak solution of bleach to fill the bubblers. It was probably diluted to 1/500. I don't really know. Anyway, as I picked one of the FVs up, it back bubbled through the bubbler and some of this solution got into the wort.
The other FV went off like a rocket but this is a dead as the proverbial which I can only assume is down to the tiny amount of bleach in the wort.
If I put it back through the boiler and repitch, is this going to burn off any residual bleach in the wort so that I can repitch or is it fooked?
