I looked everywhere for the answer on this and couldn't find anything definitive. I did find some threads on multiple different forums where similar questions were asked, but none of them really had anything more than guesses.
My question is: What is the CO2 volume threshold for homebrew-grade beer glass bottles? In other words, the kinds made by professional homebrew companies such as Northern Brewer, Morebeer, etc. etc. etc.
A lot of the forums claimed 3.0 volumes, but I honestly cannot believe that for a second since there are a lot of beer styles where 3.0 volumes or higher is the standard. For example, Bavarian hefeweizens are usually between 3.5 and 4.0 volumes. And a lot of Belgian and German styles are between 3.0 and 3.5 volumes. So I would assume that homebrew glass would HAVE TO be made to tolerate at least up to 4.5 volumes, but I don't have any data to back that up.
Hence... I was wondering if anyone on this forum had any data about what homebrew-grade beer glass bottles are made to tolerate up (i.e. their "CO2 volume threshold").
