The cork I had in my 5 litre oak barrel broke off when I went to remove it to add more water. I now have a piece of cork about 1/2" long in my barrel. Any ideas on how to get it out or can I just leave it in there?
I would just leave it in there since trying to remove it is going to be very difficult and fishing around in the barrel would most likely increase the risk of contamination over a small piece of cork.
