dropped a 4 inch piece of tube into carboy

[bkov]

i dropped a 4inch piece of sanitized tube into the carboy and wont be able to get it out...is it going to produce any off flavors or anything?

No, it'll be fine. I've dropped things like rubber stoppers, and the rubber grommet (from the lid on the ale pail) in the wort, without any problems.

What were you doing when you dropped in the tubing, though? Inquiring minds want to know!

I've dropped stirbars into primaries more times than I care to admit.

i was trying to use the tube to get the wort from the brew pot to the carboy using the spigot but the tube was wide

Ah! That makes sense. I don't have any small pieces of tubing around, so I couldn't picture how that could have happened.

Trust me, though- it'll be fine.
