You get it out the same way you get money out of a piggy bank!! Try using a couple metal coat hangars and pull it out.
This method may work for you. Good luck!

Slip a coat hanger with a bent tip through the SMALL end of the taper and pull it right out.
PS. Make sure the neck of the bottle/carboy is lubricated with water...just like Steve Miller said "Everything's better when wet..." :rockin:

you could try sticking a racking cane into the hole in the stopper then pull the stopper up until it seals the bottom of the carboy neck and blowing gently into the racking cane. I wouldnt recommend using compressed air or anything with a lot of pressure or you could make a carboy bomb.
If you use this method please make a video. I would love to see that work with a carboy.

I've used the plastic bag in the wine bottle trick before. Works like a charm! never tried it with a carboy though.
I've done the bag trick with a carboy and it works great. It took all of 30 seconds to get that bung out.

That is bad as%, wonder who the first person was that thought "I could just get a wal mart bag, blow it up and get it out"? Genius!

Genius!! I am on my first batch and did this same thing. My LBHS was closed and I had my yeast ready to start my second batch. If I could not go from primary to secondary I would be stuck for a day or two I thought. This worked like a charm. Quick and easy. I love this site.
