Gallon jugs

[Stoutman82]

Hey so I bottled my beer today and I thought it would be cl current to put it in a gallon jug with an air tight cap it should be ok to bottle in that right?

Wait, you bottled into gallon jugs? Like milk or what? If you did, they will explode.

WTF is "cl current?"

Your gallon jug more than likely wasn't meant to hold the pressure of carbonation, either glass or plastic. There's a differnce between carbed beer and CARBONATING beer.

There's a Detailed thread expalining why it is a crapshoot to use growlers which aren't really meant to hold beer during carbonation. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/bottling-growlers-instead-bottles-211931/

Start at post 6 and end after reading post 28 and you should understand why.

Get yourself some more bottles....

The only "cl current" you'll more than likely be doing is "currently cleaning up" your mess.

Hope the OP reads these messages. Next post may look something like, "I came home and found a gallon of beer in my carpet!"

Or worse yet, someone gets injured.

I unbottled then after thinking about what I had done and how it didn't make sense

This was probably a good idea, depending on the container they were probably not rated to hold pressure. It is better to be safe then sorry!

Can the OP explain "cl current"?

Google netted me a bunch of scientifical papers like this. "Calcium-Activated Cl- Current Contributes to Delayed Afterdepolarizations in Single Purkinje and Ventricular Myocytes "
