Hi,



I am in the process of brewing a 15L. BK Chardonnay kit following the 180
day process taken from Jack Keller’s website.



Now I just finished the Day 80 “racking cycle”, but during the racking I
found that my tap was leaking (I use food grade Fermenters dedicated for
Wine, as I don’t own a glass carboy…yet). Being almost at the half way mark,
total panic came over me and the only solution I could come up with was to
wash and sterilize my arm and fasten the tapbolt by putting my arm in the
wine. Yeah fine! it’s OK to laugh.



Now the $64.000 question, did I just waste 80 precious days of wine making
and contaminate my batch beyond repair?



Any feedback would be highly appreciated



Thanks.
