Hey All,
Just wanted to share a bit of my own stupidity. Usually i use the Universal Stoppers which aren't half bad, but a rubber stopper came with one of the kits i bought. So i tried pushing a wet (with starsan) rubber stopper into the opening of my 6.5 gallon carboy and the damn thing kept popping back out! So i pushed it a little harder and what do you know, the damn thing went through the opening of the carboy and fell into the German Altbier i had just brewed. Thank god i sanitized it.
Any ideas how to get the damn rubber stopper out or is this carboy useless? Im not really worried about the beer itself, although i'm trying to think of a creative name to commemorate this event.
