Home Wine Making – The rubber Bung on the Carboy was sucked into the bottom. Any ideas on how to remove it.?

Posted by admin

The carboy is hard plastic. Maybe there is a tool our there to get the rubber bung out.

I have a tool for removing corks from bottles that works on rubber bungs also. The carboy has to be empty. It is a three pronged device with very stiff wire prongs that traps the cork or stopper an allows one to pull it out. Your local wine making shop should be able to get one from L D Carlson Item Number 9009.

    Leave it in and cap the jug with another bung.

    Wait until the fermentation is finished!, trying to get it out before will just expose it to unwanted bacteria.

    put another air lock on it and leave it in the carboy for now.

    I would like to know how did you manage to get one to fit past the neck of the carboy?
