So after two weeks of aging my imperial vanilla porter in a used balcones whiskey barrel for the first time, I went to go transfer into the keg today and made a BIG mistake! It looked like the auto-siphon was going to fit but just barely didn't and got stuck. As I went to pull my auto siphon back out, the plastic tip on the end fell off and into the barrel. I transferred the beer and emptied the barrel but now have this little plastic piece sitting inside the barrel. I know I need to get it out of there but have no idea how to do that. If anyone has any insight on how to get myself out of this mess it would be verrrrryyy much appreciated! This was only my first time using this barrel, it would be such a shame if I couldn't get any more use out of it :mad:
