Can beer be primed and served out of a carboy without it going stale?

I am just trying to find a vessel that it good for both fermenting and carbonating naturally.

Casks. Pins and Firkins. Ferment in a carboy. Transfer to a cask and prime.

Edit: dangit yoop. Beat me again.

The hoop strength of glass is not all that great. that is why they use Aluminum and SS.
Also the pressure is PSI which is force per inches squared. The surface area of the Carboy is pretty large and thereforie the forces in there are just a bit too much for glass in my opinion.

But hell, give it a shot and for the sake of science keep vidoeo rolling as I'd be interested in the catastrophic failure.

But keep it behind a safety sheild, I dont want anyone getting hurt.

Maybe you can test the PSI of the bottle prior to wasting the beer... food for thought.



Be safe.. Bottle.

i read some where you can use a soft sided 2.5 - 5 gal campers water container the type that has a spigot and lightly carb it for cask ale

$145 + shipping (which is quite reasonable) for an entire system including corny, Co2 bottle, regulator, party faucet and hoses here: http://www.bvrgelements.com/category/Kit/

A keg.

You can ferment in a keg, carb it up naturally, and serve it. After you start serving, you'll need some co2 to push it out. They have little co2 guns that you can use to push out the beer.

I assume that the little co2 guns would be carried where ever the kegging equipment is sold?
