Help! have I killed my beer with Chemsan!

[David Woods]

Yesterdays brew completed and using the no chill method in a cube - I just realise I left about 1/2 litre of Chemsan in the cube when transferring. Ouch!

I searched here and seemed to get the OK - albeit with Starsan, but reading elsewhere getting conflicting stories between "it's fine" and "don't go near it".

I don't mind so much if the taste is altered a bit - it's beer after all - but a bit concerned about safety and poisoning my guests! The Chemsan was a fresh batch mixed as per instructions.

It's a 23L batch.

Would really like some help with this before I commit to fermenting it. What an idiot!

Thanks

I've accidentally left around that amount in the bottom of my fermenter before adding the wort into it. The beer turned out fine and you couldn't tell there was any starsan in it.

Not done that (yet ) but I would reckon that if the yeast are OK then you will be.

I've done the same with Starsan, the beer was fine.
