I'd certainly be in for a growler with a gas in post. Any estimate on when it might be available?

Old and , but damn!

This is the exact obvious scare tactic BS that made me want to smoke pot when I was a kid.

Lighten up dude. If your product is good, it'll sell itself.

I understand from the description that you can prime these which is great unless you do not plan on drinking the whole growler in one sitting.
Do you mean something like this?

I don't think I've ever touched a glass carboy. I'm all plastic.

I don't want to have to buy anything else (whatever that hand-held CO-2 charger is shown) or have more junk laying around than I already have. And I don't want some other adapter that I need to take my ball lock disconnect off and replace with another connection (as some make caps with valve stems and need a tire pressure adaptor).

I understand, the more attachments...the more you have to mess around with . WE are working on exactly that a ball lock gas post..to keep everything as simple as possible. So Stay Tuned....

These look really nice but at the same time why not just use a corny keg as a 5 gallon fermenter?

Any more news on the gas post in the growler? Would it be on the cap? Wondering if I could order now as I really want one and if it was in the cap I could just order one of those later?

Yes, we are coming out with a cap that will have a gas post on it. Currently, we are testing the cap connections and seals..

This will be an additional item you can purchase with your growler.

Thank you for your interest.
