Just went down to check on barrels after one month and found that my 10l merlot (kit) barrel had wine running down the sides. I popped the bung and the vacuum seemed huge. Then I looked inside and saw vapors/gas. Didn’t smell/taste off.

Sulfite added and now there’s an airlock on it.

Ideas? Explanations? What happened? What should I do now and what could I avoid for next time ?
