Bungs a poppin'

Post by Brewhunter » Sat Jan 03, 2015 11:25 pm

Does anyone else have a problem with solid bungs popping out of demis
I've had several pop out despite the fermentation being finished and racked.
Am I not pushing them in hard enough or is it more likely the air locks need to be left in longer?

If wine not fully degassed, and maybe it warms up a bit....

Good point, I've always degassed 30 bottle batches but not the smaller 6 bottle ones for some reason #-o
