Forgot To Empty Starsan

[Pennywise]

So, I filled a keg that still had about 500ml of starsan in it. I forgot to empty it before filling. Any issues with just drinking it? I figure it's a no rinse so a little can't be bad, but this is 500ml in 19L, still fairly diluted but not sure if it's a wise thing to tap it. Actually, it prolly wasn't even 500ml, maybe 300...

Read this and the link at the bottom of the page. It does say it's tasteless. Didn't read the extra info will leave that to you.

I heard on a podcast with a guy from 5Star chemicals, where he had a giggle at a guy who'd done the same thing, but did say it'd probably be fine.

StarSan Ale

:lol: yeah, first thing I said the the missus was "this one won't get infected thats for sure". I guess if it tastes fine ill tap it, might just have one here and there from this one to be on the safer side. If I don't report back, well, tell the next person to tip it...

I've got a Belgian pale ale on tap at the moment that I did something similar with. Instead of starsan in the keg it was in the cube I was using for cold conditioning. I'd had a couple when I was racking that beer and forgot to empty it out. I was going to tip it but ended up kegging it to see what it'd be like. I reckon that it has thinned it out a bit (there must have been at least a liter in the cube) but other than that the beer is pretty nice.

Good idea. Won't need to flush lines or clean your taps now.

Charlie Tally, maker of Star San on the Brewing Network was asked by Justin C about a beer he'd racked onto a quantity of starsan mix. Apparently the low PH of beer inhibits Star San and it loses it's antibacterial killing power. I seem to recall him mentioning you can pitch yeast after and it won't kill the yeast and in fact may even act as a nutrient for it. Also believe he said there would be no problems with drinking such a concoction.

Maybe not the best solution but you could always blend it with 1 or 2 other kegs to help dilute it even further. Who knows, you may crack a pearler of a brew.

May just do that if I notice any effects on flavor from the starsan, good thing is, it's an IPA. Blending 2 IPA's would be interesting I reckon

Reporting back after a reminder from another thread. Beer was fine, no defects taste wise but it was pretty cloudy. Apart from that I haven't had any side effects. Shit f**k Cnut stuffing rooted whore

Sorry that was just my tourettes syndrome kicking in, only just started not sure where it came from shit face f**ker bitch
