According to the Redhook brewery website, they naturally carbonate their beer by "closing the exhaust vents on their fermenters partway through the fermentation process, pressurizing the fermenter and naturally carbonating their beer". Is this a potential way to carbonate for the homebrewer or are plastic buckets/carboys not likely to withstand the pressure? It sounds like to me that they essentially turn the fermenter into a large beer bottle but how do they maintain the carbonation during transfer to bottles I wonder?
