Well Ben you certainly would not be the first one of us that has done that...
Firstly what was the sanitiser you used, If it was Phosphoric acid based (star - san) or Hydrogen peroxide ( proxitane) based you will not have a problem, as you leave it behind in the boiler and they are relatively short lived.
Now i am assuming that we are talking just a surface spray of sanitiser ...not gallons of it.
I do not understand why you are sanitizing a boiler that will contain boiling wash. as the act of distilling is an effective way of killing off all the nasties.
Most of the standard sanitisers are food safe and have short chemical lives, they often break down to water and oxygen. Let us know a bit more, but chances are that you will be fine.
