I filled my airlock with 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol which was the advice of a seasoned brewer friend even though I thought it was probably a bad idea. Well I think I was right. I am making a 5 gallon batch of stout and my yeast went crazy in the first 24 hrs. and my airlock was filled with wort. I degassed the primary and dumped the airlock and refilled it with water. I'm afraid that the entire airlock contents (up to the fill line) of rubbing alcohol got into the primary. The yeast settled down after that. Is my beer ruined? Is it ok to drink? Will fermentation get rid of most of it?
