Has anyone tested a mason jar under pressure (not vacuum) to see if it will handle carbonation pressure without leaking or exploding? I think it's around 30-40psi.
I know they are meant for vacuum, but I want to use one as a test jar to know when my beer is done carbonating (let alone carbonating at all).
The mason jar is nice because it's easy to clean, has a decent seal, and is easy to install a pressure gauge into.
I'm thinking about pressure testing one to failure, in a safe environment of course, and/or under water to detect leaks.
