This is my very first batch. I boiled a gllon of water, mixe in the sugar, can of cooper's, all that stuff. A day later, I had to move the seven gallon bucket and the ferment lock came off. I sanitized the pieces and, as I was fitting it backinto the hole in the lid, the washer fell in the batch! I went in with a strainer to find the thing, no luck. It is now sitting in my closet with a new washer around the carboy, but that freaking little washer is in the batch. I assumed I should dump it, but I have yet to see a scenario where it has been recommended. that being said, SHOULD I DUMP THIS BATCH?
