Question:
Pretty new to wine making. On my first batch. I bought appropriate sized rubber bungs for 1 gallon and 3 gallon carboys (and jug). At least according to Presque. Even trying to remove right away it’s a real pain. I just chipped the rim of a 1 gallon jug! Using a metal rod in the hole to pry out. Wrapping in cellaphane (as recommended by a book I have) the things won’t fit. If I put in "lightly" air is escaping (I can tell when fermenting). HELP! Also, what # sizes of bungs do you recomend for these standard containers. Also, I read cork is better (no chance of rubber taste) but I can’t find any. Yes or no and where to buy (I need to order by mail). Thanks, Thomas
Response:
Thomas, I have three different size mouths on my various (18) 1-gallon jugs, one size on my 2
