So I'm brewing my first homebrew...
Everything went very well (boil, cooling the wort, adding to water in the primary fermentor, pitching the yeast) until the very end. The rubber seal on the fermentor's lid fell in when i attached the airlock. Hindsight says i should have attached it before putting the lid on...but oh well. So the seal fell into the wort.
First attempt at a solution = sanitized my spoon and tried to fish it out. As you can imagine, this did not work.
I finally decided to sanitize both my carboy and siphon and transferred the wort from the bucket to the carboy. Now it's sitting ready to ferment.
So I need some guidance. Does my solution make sense? Did i ruin my beer (i know i know RDWHAHB)? Should i transfer it back to the bucket for the secondary fermentation?
Thanks for you help
