I just had the most low stress brew day so far and as the last of the wort went into the fermenter, I unclipped my cooler... and as the hose popped off a big slurp of water from the hose landed in the cooled wort.
The brew was one of those hoppy IPASs with no additions until the wort had cooled to about 75C, at which point 100g of hops were steeped for 25 mins. I've cleaned the boiler out so there are no hops left and then put the cooled wort back in to boil for a further 15 mins to sterilise it. I'm leaving the lid on as I'm sure the DMS is long gone and maybe it will keep in some of the hop flavours?
I'm going to add a small amount more whirlpool hops (unless anyone tells me I'm wrong in the next 15 mins). I will dry hop with another 100g of hops for the last three days.
So my question is, how much and in what way am I likely to have compromised the flavour of this brew?
