Secondary Fermenter Question

Hey guys,

On my second batch of beer so this is the first time I transferred from a primary to a secondary fermenter.

My question is a sanitation question. I sanitized with one step and dumped everything out. I was a little weary about putting something back into my ferementer to completely dry it off (cloth, paper towel) because I was afraid of getting something bad in my just sanitized bucket. I let it drip dry for a while but there was still some water droplets left over from when I dumped the sanitized solution out. I then transferred my beer from the primary to the secondary. I haven't looked at my beer but my paranoia kicked in got me thinking, could this have contaminated my beer? Being a newbie I wouldn't even know if my beer was contaminated even if I popped the lid and looked at it.I haven't found another thread on here like this so this is why I'm asking.


Thoughts?

If it was a 'no rinse' sanitizer....your fine. If it wasn't, there is such a small amount left it won't kill ya.

phew! So I'm assuming this would be okay to do with siphoning tubes too. They're such a pain to get dry. I'm assuming it wouldn't be bad to sanitize then kinda swirl it around over your head ( heard that helps getting some of the water out) then using the siphoning tube?

I use Star-san one step sanitizer. I never rinse and rack right onto the foam. A popular theme on here is "never fear the foam". My understanding is it kills the badies by lowering the ph....It won't kill you.
