Leaky Conical

[NastyNate]

I made a witbier yesterday, everything went great, put it in my conical and tucked it away to ferment. This morning I went to check on it and the fermenter was leaking.

After some checking it appears I lost an o ring at some point. No biggie, but I had to move the beer to another fermenter. My concern is what that might have done to the beer. I was careful to sanitize everything as I went along, and I tried my best to not aerate the wort much.

Is there anything I should be concerned with? It bubbling away like normal, and all I did was lose some beer in the first collection ball.

I'm sure it's fine. You didn't even have to worry much about aeration, it's an active ferment. You only worry about oxygen when it's done, or if it's sour beer.

Perfect, I appreciate the peace of mind. Thanks for the replies!
