I have several empty Growler Jugs, just wondering if I could use them? Very new stupid question mabe. But I am afraid they won't seal
 
This might give you an idea...."Growler goes Boom";)

There's a tons of threads on this. You have to realize that they are meant to hold already carbonated beer, NOT beer carbonating, where the pressure is built up the forces itself into solution. Some folks will say they have no problem, but others will say differently. To me, I sure as heck wouldn't want to play Russian Roulette with my beer.
 
Had some ginger beer that I "bottled" in a growler that BLEW UP in the middle of the night about six months ago and I am still finding little bits of glass in that closet.
 
Have neighbors and friends save their empties for you. My friends say its giives them an extra excuse to drink beer.
