I made some test batches of cider and carbed it in a pop bottle with the carbonater, but want to put it in glass bottles to transport. Its carbed like pop, so its pretty fizzy, I had it set to about 25psi in the PET bottle, but will that much carbonation blow up a glass bottle.
 
Some research says around 200psi, that seems high. I guess it would depend if the bottle had any defects.

Anybody know?
