how bad have i screwed up? was created by Johnson
So last night I bottled my toucan and about half way threw bottling I realized that I never rinsed the fv I used to bulk prime after soaking in coopers sanitizer over night. I did however drain it well and I did swish about 500 ml of starsan inside before bottling ( the fv had been sitting around for a wile so I wanted to double sanitize). Is this going to affect my beer? And if so how bad ?

If the Coopers sanitiser was Metabisulphite, you will be absolutely fine it can be used as a no rinse if you drain extremely well, so the fact you rinsed with the other sanitiser even better. Metabisulphite is added to wine as a preservative. Cheerz!

so like napisan? sodium percarbonate is washing soda + hydroden peroxide. how concentrated was your mix? If it was weak which is really all you need (recommendations on jars etc usually suggest too much) and it drained really well and you gave a good splash around with the no rinse you might be ok. No point panicking , Just going to have to wait and see I guess.

Brewing a familiar Dark Mild later today. (hint: Was the bastard tired? Or was he run over by a tire (tyre). No one really knows). One thing for sure. It will be a treat when done. Cheers!
