I'm an idiot.
I just put together 5g of Irish Red and went to put the airlock and stopper (#7) in the 6.5g carboy and the sanitizer on the stopper lubed the $@#%^ing thing right through the neck and into my beer. Twice.
Not wanting to ferment with two rubber stoppers in the mix, I racked the beer off into a new carboy. So now my question is this:
Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone have any thoughts on how to get the stoppers out or is the carboy junk at this point?
Am I just an idiot?
