I pitched the yeast and everything was ready to go, I was putting the airlock into the little rubber grommet that fits on the pail lid, when the grommet pooped through the lid and into my wort, sinking all the way to the bottom. I thought about leaving it and using another grommet that I had but was worrying about it adding a rubber taste to the beer. So, since I couldn't find it with the ladel... I put my whole arm all the way to my elbow in to retrieve it. It's been 26 hours since then and no noticeable signs of fermentation.... I washed my hand before submerging it, but I'm sure it wasn't "sanitized"... I have read on here to wait and I'll see signs of fermentation but I'm still worried... even though my sign in name is NOworries....
