Did a American Amber Ale with my neighbour yesterday. Funniest thing, we left the water running in the emersion chiller when we put in the boil 5 min before flame out (to disinfect). Of course we had had a few beer and it took us 15 min to find out what had happen. So, we shut the water down, pulled the hops out, brought it back to a boil (to disinfect everything) and put the hops back in and chilled. I think I'm pretty safe for no infection. Probably screwed my bitter, flavour and aroma a little bit. I'm dry hopping so it should be descent. It took an extra hour and I never thought that after couple of years of brewing I would make this mistake!!! Still always lots of fun!!!
