Growlers?

[Vtdrinker]

My cider has finally finished an I was thinking of priming and storing it in growlers. Anyone done this?

Do a search. Growlers are not strong enough to carbonate in. they will probably break/explode.

KA-BOOM! Looked it up on here, saw mixed results and decided to try it with a wine to make is sparkle before I got access to kegging equipment. Thought maybe I'd be one of the lucky ones. Lets just say I'm glad that wine wasn't the greatest, most palatable brew I ever made.

You may get lucky, but exploding glass is a dangerous thing. Please don't risk it, use a vessel designed to take the carbonation. The thicker swing-top growlers are usually OK.
