Got a little vodka in my wort, problem?

[kryznic]

So I filled up my bubbler with vodka and pushed on the lid a bit to test the seal and some of the vodka spilled over and dripped into the wort, do I have to worry about anything?

Thanks.

You're good to go...

Like sud said, you're fine. The whole purpose of using vodka in the airlock is because microbes can't live in something with such a high alcohol content, so if some goes into your beer you don't have to worry about any nasties getting into the beer from it. And since it's such a small amount relative to the total volume of the beer it won't do anything to the taste of the final product.
