Major newbie question I am assuming, but one I need an answer for.
I have multiple 6gal better bottles that I am currently using for ciders. Now with my glass carboy I can pick it up and roll/agitate it and the carboy is fine (because you know, glass), but with the plastic better bottles, wherever I put my hands and ally pressure by lifting/moving it, the plastic gives in a bit, causing the pressure to push into the airlock and in one case reverse drain it into my must.
Is this normal or because their isn't enough pressure built up from CO2? I also got a carboy handle last night so going to be using that from now on, just in case it helps.
