Oops? Well... Maybe?

Good evening, today I inoculated my first sterilized rye berry bag. During the process, I didn't think to inspect the syringe and needle packaging correctly as I thought it would be cut and dry but there was a plastic plug on the end of the syringe and I did not notice so I fumbled around with the syringe for a bit in the process of the prep to inject, opened up the needle and dropped it into the alcohol on accident. I took it out with a soaked gauze pad and flipped it around a second in the pad before I attached it to the syringe... the proper way. LOL. After that I shot a tiny bit of whats inside out of the end to hopefully clear whatever alcohol was in the needle from the dive just in case that would mess things up and I gave the bag a squirt after that..
Wondering if anyone has done that before and if I should be worried about a contamination now? Am I destined to fail after that?
PS - Me when I became Sir fumbles it

If you didn't flame sterilize your needle then inoculate your bag in a SAB dropping it in some alcohol would be the least of your worries.
Without following proper sterile procedure you should be worried about contamination, although you may get lucky, just have to wait and see.

You're probably alright. I'd have flamed it, but it should be fine.

Thank you, I will flame the needles from now on but I hope all is well with the bag. I'll show off the first flush if it goes well.

I give up on using flame a long time ago. I like to constantly use alcohol to keep everything else clean when I'm injecting. I haven't had an issue just using alcohol. What I do is between each injection, I push out a tiny drop from the needle and wipe it with alcohol. I haven't had any issues with a lot of contamination and I don't use any kind of box for flow hood.

Fucking awful advice, and your luck will run out soon enough
