I've had a blonde ale in the primary for 10 days and decided to take a hydro sample. I popped the lid off my bucket and removed the airlock and got my sample. I put the lid back on and went to put the airlock back in and the bung came out and into the bucket! I've had this happen before pitching yeast, but never after fermentation was complete. I actually had another airlock that I modified for blowoff and stuck the other end of the hose through the bung hole (haha, no pun intended), but couldn't get the airlock off the other end. So, I put a mixture of water and vodka in the jar I use for blowoff and sealed it up. I'm thinking I should be good on that front, but should I be concerned at all about the bung now sitting on the yeast cake at the bottom? FWIW, the FG was 1.006 after starting off at 1.052 and is actually going into a keg on Thursday.
