I pitched yeast in carboy and accidentally pushed the bung stop into the wort. I didn’t have another so I panicked and poured, not siphoned, the wort into a fermenting bucket.
Questions - did I screw this up? Also, will I need to re pitch?
I plan to see if it bubbles and check gravity bit this is a dynamic I haven’t had. I appreciate any insight you can provide. It is an Octoberfest lager. I hope I didn’t “bung” it up.
Next time just leave it in there as long as it was sanitized and stick another one in.
To fish it out, drape a rag in the carboy, tip and roll the stopper on to it, then quickly yank the rag out. After some practice you should be able to get the stopper to get wedged in the opening and pop out. This if for a standard glass carboy.
