So, I decided to cold crash my cream ale tonight. Something I've never done. I realized my 6.5 gallon bucket was just a little too tall with the airlock in place, so I grabbed a tube. As I was pushing the tube into the rubber gasket, it pushed straight threw and the gasket fell to the bottom of the bucket.

The tube was sanitized, but I had not sprayed the gasket as the idea of it pushing in didn't occur to me.

Beer is about 6% after fermentation. Should I be on the lookout for future infection or should I just chill out and not worry about it?
 
RDWHAHB. You should be ok. Get it in the keg or bottles ASAP after it clears and enjoy your beers
