Please help!!

I was racking off yeast from my conical tonight and forgot to remove the blowoff tube from the blowoff water container.

The beer has been brewing for a week and I would say 10ml of water sucked back into the fermenter.

Has anyone else done this and did the beer still turn out ok. I'm really hoping it would be fine as I've been working on doing this beer for some time and i hope that not a small lapse inconcentration, ruins the beer.

Any thoughts? :eek:
 
Can't wait for bum to reply to this one :lol: . Best screenshot ever.
 
only time will tell... unless you're doing an analysis on the 'blowoff water', which I'm sure you won't.
 
Yeah i did this not long ago....... chilled the beer and forgot to pull the tube out of the blow off bottle.

Not sure how much went in but it was not much thank god.

Thankfully i add a small touch of starsan to my blow off water and id say this stopped any germs........ and the beer is fine!

cheers
