Vodka In My Cider

[VaNewbieWRB]

Making a brew demon hard cider kit. When I was filling the airlock a couple drops ended up in the must. Am I screwed? Will this kill my yeast and fermentation? It's a 2 gallon batch. Thanks

absolutely nothing to worry about

Great. Thanks. Was worried I'd screwed the entire thing up

What about 2oz in 27 liters?

That's nothing. The alcohol would be diluted down to around 0.1%.

Thanks Subdivisions. My concern is whether the vodka will do something to the yeast, kill, produce off flavours etc. I.e. wondering if I need to toss it and start over?

No, of course not. It's fine.

Turned out to be the best cider that I have made to date, might be topping the next batch off with a shot of vodka for good measure. Glad I didn't toss it, thanks.
