may have forgot to rinse PBW - dump the beer???

I stand corrected. Maybe you shouldn't taste it after all.

Except that warning is for swallowing it directly.

When diluted into 5 gallons of water, it's safe. Just like it warns you against touching it. That doesn't mean to wear a hazmat suit when washing a 5 gallon solution, just to wash off if the PBW comes into contact with you.

That being said, if the taste is off then stop drinking.

Also if you bleed from your rectum.

Hell, man. Around here that could be for any number of reasons......

one of the first things i was taught when i was learning to brew in a brewery was that beer only gets transfered into something that was just soaked in acid (sanitizer). never transfer beer onto cleaner, period. i really can't think of any situation except for when you're drinking it that it's okay to transfer beer into something that wasn't cleaned, rinsed, then sanitized.

i personally wouldn't drink the beer

Taste seems OK. I think in my head I am trying to find an off flavor. Same with aroma and head formation, all seem fine.
I emailed Five Star but have received no response. I'm thinking the potentially bad chemicals in PBW are so diluted that I should be fine to drink the beer.

How's your health holding up these days atomicpunk? Did anyone else sample your brew?

I did the exact same thing you did, but this batch (Phat Tyre clone) is destined for our wedding reception...DOH! I'd hate to poison the entire fam....even worse, serve a bad batch of homebrew! However, there is not enough time to brew another batch, so I'm leaning towards following in your footsteps. (after tasting a few pints myself, of course)

Also, did you ever receive a response from Five Star?

Has anyone else noticed that Atomic Punk hasn't posted in a while....
