My glass floating thermometer broke in my wort as it was cooling. It is not mercury and the balls are iron so I'm not worried about that. The iron balls floated to the bottom of the kettle so I don't think any got into the fermenter.
But what about the glass? I very stupidly wasn't paying attention to see if there was any glass with the iron balls. I already pitched in my fermenter, so I wasted my yeast if I dump. But, obviously, I want to be safe. I plan on transferring to a secondary and then bottling bucket, so it seems likely that whatever's in the primary will stay there.
I hate these POS thermometers - this is the second one I bought that broke!
Anyway, what should I do?
