Have I just ruined the first kit?!
OK, in my excitement and exuberance at making my first kit...I didn't rinse out my FV after sterilising. I gave it a good thorough shake and got all the frothy bits out so it was pretty dry when I stuck the kit into it, but have I ballsed it up by not rinsing?!
Proper newbie mistake this I reckon!!??

I'd say not a problem. All the gasses will have dissapated. And any residue is in such a solution before you pitch the yeast that it is trace.

What sanitiser did you use?

It's the youngs one that comes with the wherry microbrewery. Sodium Metabisulphate I think?

Ive never used it but trawling around the net it seems that half of the people who use it rinse while the other half dont! Apparently its labled as a no rinse so dont be too put off. How is the brew going at the moment, fermenting fine? If so then sit back and see what happens when your bottling/kegging.

Fermenting was a bit sluggish as the temperature dropped a bit. It was left in the (unheated) shed on Saturday night with just a blanket. Brought it into the house for last night, still with blanket and it appears to have kick-started it again!
Hopefully all is well, we'll have to see when it's time for secondary fermentation.
