Being a moron, I started to keg a beer from a conical and forgot to remove the blow off tube. I may have sucked up some sanitizer. Not sure and if so, not more than 1/4 cup in 13 gallons. Anything to worry about? Beer tastes fine.
1/4 cup in 13 gallons is nothing.
Charlie Tally from Five Star Chemicals was on the Brewing Network once and they were talking about Justin's "Star San" beer where he forgot to empty the sanitizer before racking the beer over. His carboy was close to half full of sanitizer. He dumped it but Charlie said he could have fermented it out and drank it without any problem.I won't try to replicate this but 1/4 cup in 13 gallons is nothing.

But the cold side is exactly where he apparently ran beer into half a bucket of sanitizer ;-)
I'll wait to have my beers until after I'm done
I guess I put myself firmly in the 'do neither' camp ;-) I'll wait to have my beers until after I'm done
