I am on my second batch of brew and I encountered a problem I didn't have the first go around with the rubber stopper.
After I pitched the yeast into my glass carboy I put the rubber stopper in, but the stopper refused to stay flush in the carboy. It just slides a little out after just a few seconds. It's strange particularly since when I first brewed it was in so tight I had a tough time getting the stopper out of the carboy.
The beer has been pitched for a couple of hours now, and the stopper is pretty solidly in, but it slides up about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch. Should I be concerned about a blow-out? As much as I love beer i can't stand guard all night to make sure the damn thing stays in.
Please advise...
