Oops! Piece of bottling wand fell into keg

[imjim]

Hi Brains Trust,

I’ve just finished racking a Ginger Beer to a 5L growler. I was using a Bottle Wand and unfortunately the plastic valve on the wand wasn’t on very good as it fell into my full growler.

my question is; is it ok to leave it In the growler knowing that it’s been sanitised and being a 5L keg that’s going to be drank in a few days.

many thanks HB!
Jim

Yes, why the worry? It's sanitised and most probably food grade so no problem

Do a keg stand. Stop when the little plastic piece drops into your mouth. No?

Lol, I had a 7/16 nut that was painted red fall into my bk back in 1995. The wort had just began to boil. I had to kill the flame and quickly fish the nut out using a magnet. I named the batch (Red Nut Ale) as it was an amber ale. It turned out to be an excellent amber. I entered it in a local Chicago competition and to took third place. Then a friend who had just began working as a brew master at a near by brewery wanted to copy it as their flagship beer. They call it Lincoln Red and they continue making it today.

I have made Floor Sweep Ale (bag broke on the Floor), Sneaker Beer where I stepped into some hot wort (Ohhhwee!). Had several Oxygenation Stone Beer. Insect Beer. Mystery Hop Beer. and the list goes on.
