So, got my beer in the 6.5g carboy and then this happened:
I pushed down on the plastic airlock to seat it in the rubber bung in the top of the carboy, and the bung decended down in to the abyss of brew below, two questions:
1. Will leaving the rubber bung in the brew for the entire primary (about 4 weeks) contribute any off flavors?
2. how do I get said bung out of the carboy?
In the meantime I put the airlock in a different bung, and put it on. All of my other carboys are in use, but I could pick up another one to transfer. I want answers that put quality above any other factor. This is a high gravity (O.G. = 1.083) brew, and the brew day was about 9 hours, so I don't want to risk cra*py beer. Its a Souther Teir Unearthly meets Weyerbacher Double Simcoe inspired beer
Thanks
