Bottling cider in jugs

[NovemberEchoes]

Hey all, I posted a longer version of this over in the cider thread, but thought I'd post here as well just in case.

Simply put, I've got a few batches of cider fermenting in the one gallon glass jugs I bought the (Earth Fare) apple juice in. I like still ciders, but I've been thinking about bottle priming a couple to give to friends for the holidays. Will the glass jugs withstand the pressure if I prime in them directly, or am I creating a giant bottle bomb? Thanks for any input!

On the top of my head I'd say Italian glass should hold it, but China glass I would not trust.

I wouldn't try it unless I could find out for sure it was safe.
