Last night I used a stir-spoon on my young (1-day old) fermentation (a kit) without having rinsed off the kmeta that I had sprayed on it to disinfect it. Is this harmful to the yeast cells which are in the process of reproducing? We're talking about a very small amount, but still, I need to sleep at night, lol!
Has anyone else done this?
 
Thank you @1d10t . Yeah, I had known about dosing grapes to kill-off wild yeasts, but since this is a kit it would not apply. I'm guessing there would be no detriment if I introduced such a small amount. The Yeast I used was RC-212.
 
You are fine and can sleep just like a baby. Kmeta does much less to yeast than they do to bacteria. If it helps you sleep at night, I never, never ever rinse off the Kmeta (or the Star San) after sanitizing something, right into the fermenting bucket it goes. All is well, doesn't hurt anything.
