StarSan Wine

[wineview]

Oh my goodness what a blunder. I racked off five gallons of a white wine and only needed about two ounces to top off. Instead of opening a bottle of white, I thought I would use some distilled water. After all it’s a kit and there is plenty of water in it. Instead of reaching for the gallon of water, I grabbed the gallon of StarSan solution and topped off with it before realizing my mistake. My gut tells me no harm done considering the proportions, but I’d like confirmation from the chemists out there.

No problem, I’ve done worse, like 300ml. Did blind taste test of the wine later…..which carboy did I forget to empty the starsan out of? Nobody could pick it out.

My first thought was to check the acidity, as Star San has a pH below 2.9. it is highly acidic, but not dangerous in dilution.

2 oz in 640 is a lot of dilution, so @NorCal's report is not a surprise.
