1 gallon jug

[Agent Brew]

I am considering using 1 gallon glass jugs to bottle my next batch. Does anyone foresee any problems? Assuming I store the jugs out of direct sunlight. I plan to use the following from Austin Homebrew. 1 gallon jug.

Yes, It will explode

Yes, It will explode

Unless you keep it below 1.5 vol CO2. Even then, the lid prolly won;t hold.

Thanks Mista Sparkle. Just cancelled my order for the 1/2 gallon jugs.

good rule of thumb, don't store carbonated beverages in anything that's not designed for carbonated beverages.

Very good. Sometimes, it's just that simple...

What about these 1/2 gallon amber jugs, will they be safe for bottling carbonated beer?

Doubt it. What about growlers? You think of those.

 

[Agent Brew]

Yes I have thought of growlers, its just $5 for the jug is more attractive than $20 for a growler.

$20 for a growler? Wow
