Hi guys, needless to say this was my first batch ever. I was putting the hydrometer into the lid and the o-ring fell into the wort!!!! I sanitized my hands and reached in and got it, should I just through the beer out?? I did how ever have the o-ring sanitized before it fell in.

I think you'll be quite fine considering some of the things I've done.

Don't worry, it'll be fine. Beer is tougher than you think. Welcome to the forum

Your arm introduced far more possible contaminates than the oring, but in any case do not toss out the beer man! It should be fine, let your mind be at peace.

What possible reason did you have for putting a hydrometer into the lid...of your ferementor?
Did you mean airlock?
And, yeah, go ahead and "through" it out, just don't throw it out. Sit tight through the process.

Next time....Just dont jam the Airlock into the hole, be a little more gentle like its your SWMBO and just screw it in with light pressure!
