    Hey guys, This has happend to me before, but not since I first started brewing. I tried to use a bung too small for my carboy and it fell in my wort, everything was sanitized and everything but I cannot siphon it out until tomorrow. Will my beer be alright? I have not pitched my yeast yet. Should I hold off until I siphon the wort off of the Bung? Rookie mistake but I really hope it doesnt ruin the batch. Honey Lager

    Thanks in advance for the time and information. I appreciate it

    Done that a few times myself...leave it in there and use a bigger one or foil in a pinch.

    Pitch that yeast : )

    Already have a proper fitting bung and airlock in there. Just go ahead and pitch the yeast? Sounds good to me was just a bit worried at first

    I've done this way too many times to count. Drinking + brewing = bung in my wort. Your beer will be fine, just leave it there and proceed as normal. Do yourself a favor and look up how to use a handkerchief or piece of cloth to pull it out in the meantime.
