Have I contaminated my beer

[linearcraig]

Hi again

I took my first Hydrometer test today and got a ready of about 1.005/1.004 which is great but while I was using my thief to get the beer out I accidentally dribbled some on my hand and it went back into the FV. I haven't just contaminated my beer have I?

Cheers

OMG, all that ucky sweat in your brew!! :sick:
Worry not, many is the time I've had to put my whole arm in with no adverse results, unless you call having two heads bad news!

Thanks guys thought it would be ok.

Dead watery taste but I think it should thicken out once its had time to condition.

Dead watery taste

Theres a small chance of contamination but once fermented, its much less vulnerable. 99% it will be fine.

Let the yeast do its magic and transform the watery icky green beer into lovely quaffable conditioned beer.

I found a drownded wasp in mine once. I had a temper tantrum at it. It turned out to be the best beer I've brewed. Have spent the time since trying to lure them in.
