Filled my airlock with IO-Star brand solution. I mixed an ounce into 5 gallons of water as recommended on the bottle. I accidentally applied pressure on the fermenter lid and it sucked about half of the solution in. Will this affect the fermentation process?
 
You may have just uncovered one of the coolest brewing secrets ever, or nothing will happen and you will just have great beer.
 
This is why I use tequilia in my airlock...just in case :cross:
 
Get used to it... from what I gather there are several conditions which will cause the airlock liquid to be sucked into your wort, including temperature changes.
