I racked my first ever wine attempt over to the carboy last weekend. Making a Rhubarb wine by the way.
But now I am finding the bung keeps working its way out of the mouth of the carboy. I have even rammed it down so the complete bung is inside the mouth.
When I racked, the wine was at a S.G. of 1.002. Now it is at 0.996. So, it never fermented fast enough to pressure up.
The airlock works. Can blow through it easily.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking I may have to tie it in.
Thanks.
