A family member got me a nice growler, inscribed with "Craft Brewed by [name]" and two glasses with the same. The idea was then I could bring the growler and glasses when I visit instead of bottles.
Problem is, I don't keg, and I'm not sure if bottling in there is something I want to do. Even if it didn't explode, wouldn't all the yeast kick up every time I pour? Anyway, what else can I do with this other than let it sit as a decoration?
I suppose I can look for a local brewery and ask them to fill it up, but that wouldn't exactly be craft brewed by me as the growler says...
I dont think it would be a good idea to bottle in bottles, then pour them into the growler before a visit or something. That's seems kind of pointless, and pouring it into the growler then the glass might have an adverse effect, i dont know.
Maybe it will continue to be a decoration until I switch over to kegging, but that will be a few years at least...
any thoughts?
