I bet the beer gods are smilling down on you and your beer will be fine..
beer can be very forgiving, the number of errs n slips ive made over the years is way more than the number of bad brews...



if not well dodnt make the same mistake again..

Like Fil says, once the beer is brewed, it is going to be pretty resilient.

My guess is that there is nothing to worry about at this stage. if you are planning on keeping it in secodary FV for a few days, you could add maybe 20g of sugar to blow off any air? This is more about superstition than science, BTW, but I would go for it every time!

also dont forget co2 in suspension will be agitated out of suspension from the action of being sucked thru the siphon tube.. i have had lots of beers release co2 durring transfer through a single peice of siphon tube with no breaks or seals, sometimes enough to fill the ubend at the top of the tube...
