I brewed a 1/2 batch of Irish Red to sell to a friend and he wants them in growlers. As I haven't moved into kegging yet, and don't have a counter-pressure bottle filler, I would have to bottle condition them for a couple weeks to carbonate. I've heard that growlers are not made to handle the pressure and as a result, explode. Some people say otherwise. My guess is they do explode at certain volumes of CO2. But since I brewed an Irish Red, and they are typically only carbonated to 1 volume of CO2, do you think that small volume of pressure would make my growlers explode?
This is the type of growler I would be using
Cheers!
