Thanks beergolf! After I did it I was wondering how in the world I was going to get it out of there.

It is a brand new bung that has never been used and I obviously sanitized it before I pushed it in.

So I after I pitched my yeast I pushed a rubber bung too far in the carboy. As I tried to get it out it went farther in, long story short it went all the way threw. My question is will this effect the beer at all to have a rubber stopper floating in it during primary fermentation?

Can I just say I love this forum. You guys are always so quick to answer any questions. I obvioulsy I would pitch my yeast right away if I could but I won't have it until tomorrow. Tomorrow is a busy day so I figured I have free time tonight to brew and wont have time tomorrow (or anytime this...
