While making my first batch I may have made a grave error...
I am working with a Vintner's Reserve World Vineyard Collection Trinity Red kit. I think I did everything right in the primary fermentation stage but upon checking on it I noticed that the grommet on my lid is missing.
My only guess is that it popped out while I was putting on the airlock which would mean it is probably in my must.
Should I try to go in and fish it out? My directions said specifically to not stir it once the yeast was added... which is worse, upsetting the mix or having rubber in it? (seems like a stupid question, but i really don't know)
as a side note.
i started at a 1.92 sg and a temp of 65. gonna try to bring the temp up if i can and hoping the sg was ok even though it was on the upper threshold of what the instructions said...
