i followed the directions, but then i put the yeast in before shaking it. so i shook it after but the honey isnt blending. then i put the bung with the hole in and it fell in the mix. i had to use a stainless piece of wire that i cut from my whisk with pliers i bent it in a hook with the same pliers, i washed the steel "hook" in running tap water, i also used a stainless steel marlin spike from a 'bosins knife to get it out and "scratched up" the inside of the hole that the airlock goes into then my back up bung is too big to go in the bottle. so i have the original bung in a solution of sanitizer with the air lock and i am hoping it works. the questions i have are many. 1 did i just screw this up beyond hope? 2 am i going to poison myself with this? 3. should i pitch this and try later? more to follow.
thanks
