Likely just temperature change. Was it cooler when you racked to your current vessel?

I noted a significant amount of expansion in my wines. I left an inch or so and after a few weeks and only a couple degrees temperature increase they were pretty well touching the bung.
Yep. A regular occurrence.
 
Each style has its proponents, all for good reasons. I prefer 3 piece as they are easier to clean.

And in the last couple of years, I've switched to vented bungs for bulk adding, which eliminates the, "what do I fill it with?" question.
I cant find those for the 5 or 6 gallons carboys
