I like using plastic to bottle my beers in. It's lighter, and I can see how the carbonation process is going just by giving the bottle a squeeze.
Problem: I have a kettle brewed sour I made. I moved it from the secondary to the bottling bucket, added some corn sugar and bottles it. It's been about a day and the bottles are now 'thinner' than yesterday. Thinner as in the sides of the bottle are buckled a little inward. I can slowly open one of the screw caps off and hear a little air going INTO the bottle. I've had this same thing happen a number of months ago with a long sour I made, when I went too long (about 14 months) and it turned to vinegar. I think I did the same this time, with a pH= 3.4, which is pretty sour, but the taste is gone.
Anyone heard of this and know what's going on? This kettle sour is a kit I've had good luck with in the past.
