Hey, I made a thread about airlock and bungs. I was not able to get them out. I have now Broekn two airlocks on watch batch of wine. The plastic part broke on the first one and the second one- as i was pulling it out came right out of the bung. That is to say the plastic chamber slipped right out of the bung.
So I was left with a bung stuck in my carboy with nothing to pull it out with. I tried to pull it out with a knife but i ended up jsut pushing it int the carboy all together. If I didn't sterilize the bung (i cant remember if i sterilized the new one) canthat contaminate my whole batch? It is about 20 days in now. I am in the degassing stage.
