DFH 60 Minute Clone Grommet Issue

[blitz10035]

Today, had a great day brewing up a 60 Minute IPA clone. *All went great until putting the airlock in and top on fermenter bucket. *Initial Gravity was spot on, added yeast, all was going great, until the grommet from the cap fell into the bucket.

Amateur mistake. *Put top on fermenter before putting airlock in.

Long story short, I strained the wort solution into another bucket and got the grommet out. I then poured the solution back into my original fermentation bucket.

My question is, will this mess up the yeast or the batch as a whole? *When I put the cap back on the fermentation bucket, there was some foam on the top of the mixture.

Thanks

As long as everything that touched the wort (including the other bucket, your hands, etc.) was sanitized, you should be fine.

Hehe, I see more threads about some variation of this!

You'll be fine. Perhaps use this as an excuse to pick up a spare - then, if it happens again, just leave it in the bucket until fermentation is done.

Definitely going to go and pick up a bunch of spare grommets after this event but I am glad to report that my airlock is bubbling nicely now. All looks well so far. Thanks for the responses.
