4 days ago I racked a Schwarz beer into a secondary and raised it to 64 for a diacytal rest. When doing so I forgot to put water in my airlock. It has been in a keezer since then and it's been 4 days. What to do? Worry? Thanks.
 
No way to be absolutely certain, but I think the odds are in your favor. The fermentor is in your keezer, so that blocks out a lot of what could be floating around in the air. And the airlock liquid was missing during a temp increase, not decrease. If you had cold-crashed, the contraction would have sucked air in.

I'm betting the beer will turn out OK.
