Heres one for the users of the 100 can cooler bag to watch out for.
I racked my kit Wheat earlier on, having pulled the primary fermenter out of the cooler bag. And sat it directly above my secondary vessel.
What i didnt think of, was a puddle of moisture had gathered in the bottom of the cooler bag over the days, from the condensation of the frozen bottles that were regularly placed in the bag.
Anyway, when i got to the last bit of the racking, i tipped the primary vessel to get as much clean beer as i could.
Some of that water from the cooler bag was still around on the bottom ( outside ) of my primary, and before i knew what was happening, many drops had fallen into my beer in the secondary from the bottom of the primary, when it was tipped.
What are the chances of an infection from this ? Is there enough alcohol in my beer to kill off any nasties that may be in that gathered water.
Am i being paranoid I'd hate to lose this one, it tasted fantastic from my hydrometer.....very nice.
As Seth says, maybe i should just RDWHAHB :unsure:
