A friend sanitizerd the airlock but filled it with the sanitizing solution which was part bleach.

When I found out I took out the airlock to fill it with the cheap vodka I use.

When I took it out about 10 drops either came from the airlock I belive.

Am I screwed?

This is a hard apple cider mix..... :drunk: Argh I hate putting trust in other people I hope to god its OK.
 
Thanks so much. It was diluted but when I smelt the airlock after my friend forgot to use the vodka it smelt pretty strong.

Anyways ill keep you up to date on how it goes.

Hopefully no one makes this mistake in the future.......... :fro:
 
Next time, just fill the airlock with water. If you have the cap on, bacteria will not squeeze past the cap, swim through the water, and then jump into the beer (especially if the beer is fermenting).
