brew belt melting better bottle?

[Rys06Tbss]

I bought a second revision brew belt that's15w. It has springs instead of friction. I installed the smaller spring since it seemed to fit better on the better bottle. Well I ran it for less then 5 days. I checked on my sour today and the carboy is now a triangle shape. Has anyhow else seen this?

Not really melted just seriously deformed.

That's too bad. I've seen some better bottles come back from some serious deformation but they were cold, like Tony Yates' cold crash vid-

Not hot/warm like your. Although 15W is pretty low. Curious.

I'm guessing it was to tight. It wasn't like that while the heat was on. Or when the next day when it cooled. This is a recent development. Maybe it'll pop back

Blow in the top real hard

That sounds like a great way to ruin my sour

 

[Hello]

Blow in the top real hard

That's what he said.


Sorry. Haha

I would email both BB and the belt maker to see what they have to say.

Mystery solved ... Change in temp caused the blow off tube to suck up sanitizer. Which then locked it into vacuum. I guess. Popped the stopper of the top and bam the bottle was better
