Well after brewing 2 small batches (2.5 gallons) into Mr. beer fermentors, I purchased all the equipment I needed from MidWest and brewed my first 5 gallons today. I bought all the extracts, grains, etc. off MidWest and some ingredients at the store (spices, oranges, etc.) and brewed the Papazian Holiday Cheer Ale. I did modify it a bit and used 5lb. light extract and 2lb. amber instead of just 7lb. light...
So onto the brewing: Other than dropping the cap seal from the extract into the boiling wort (which I fished out without issue) things went very well. OG was 1.048 or 1.050. I Pitched yeast at 72 degrees and put on the top.
Anyway, when putting on my airlock I used a little OneStep water (diluted solution) in the bottom (in case some squirted in?) b/c I figured it was better than unsanitized tap water. Well, it happened and I squeezed the lid while putting it on. It shot some bubbles up and sucked about 1tsp. of the OneStep water into the wort. I didn't open it or try to do anything with it.
Will my beer be OK?! I know 1 tsp. of OneStep water (very little actual onestep) into 5 gallons isn't a big deal, but what do y'all think?
Thanks in advance.
