involuted bottleI checked on the primitivo this morning, and saw that the bottles had warped again.ย  This happened before, the ongoing fermentation creates a negative pressure that causes the bottles to kind of “suck in” and get warped.ย  It’s an easy fix, I just pulled off the bungs to release the pressure and they went back to their normal shape.
