It ended up being about an inch below the threading. So when I pulled the wand out I would say the line was about halfway down the slanted part. I used one ounce of priming sugar per gallon when I racked to the bottling bucket. I feel confident going forward that the top was far from blowing off.

It did not blow its top! At 4 weeks of sitting in my closet I chilled it for 2 days in the fridge. Took it to the beach and shared with friends on a hot day. Delicious! The top did take a bit of muscle to open. Might leave it in the fridge one more day next time. It was chilled but not cold...

Ya I figured why not? Had it already and was in a pitch for more container space. The nearest LHBS is 1.5 hours from here. Also the beers I had bought and tried to cap failed. I know know what to look for on beers I buy

Why not? The cannister only cost $20 and I was low on empty bottles. It has the same appeal as people kegging to growlers and taking them to parties. I will just carb in my growler :)

Just checked it and it looks fine. This Saturday is two weeks. I figure since it is a larger volume I will give it a month total before opening it.

Ya i know they are good for carrying it around. My question is in regards to bottle priming/carbonating. A decent bit of pressure builds up inside during that time... I would assume more so than just carrying a carbonated drink. Maybe not idk So far it has not blown the top! I will keep yall posted

As of yesterday I bottled 64 ounces in my RTIC. Standard ounce of corn sugar to gallon of beer. I ended up leaving about an inch of headspace. Time will tell if it holds... meanwhile it is incased in a cooler, should something go wrong.

Thanks for the response! That makes me more comfortable to try it. I will let everyone know if I try it. I imagine I will just leave the same proportion of headspace that a regular bottle needs.

I have heard that starsan can become food for the yeast. I would add a week or two to your fermentation to help with that.

I have an RTIC 64 ounces bottle that is food grade stainless steel, double wall insulated, and has a heavy duty screw on top with a gasket. Has anyone tried to bottle with one of these? My questions if so would be how much headspace and did the top hold up to the pressure? Both companies...

What about a stainless steel bottle/growler like RTIC/Yeti make? They are double walled and 64 ounces. The screw top caps are heavy duty. Let the wand determine the headspace or shoot for an inch or so?

I am very curious about this as well! They are pretty heavy duty, so I imagine they will hold up to the pressure if you bottled them after priming and transferring from the fermentor. My question is who has tried this? I wonder how much headspace you would need when filling it?
