First time brewer - cooked up a batch of stout last night, everything went fine but tonight there was still no activity in the airlock. I investigated and found that when I put the airlock in the lid of my bucket last night, I apparently pushed the grommet through the lid and into the wort, so no seal. The only way I could get the grommet out of the wort was to fish it out with my hand.
I'm assuming that I have probably contaminated my wort, and that I should dump it out and start over, but thought I would check in with you guys here first....
Thanks,
Rick
