hey all,
great forum. i've used these almighty pages for inspiration as i slowly amass my brewing empire but rarely posted.
i've got a question..... for the perfect holiday gift for my father i'm looking for a way to extend his growler beer's carbonation. at 71 he loves bringing a growler home from one of southwest michigan's brewpubs but it almost always goes flat before he can finish it (a problem i don't have. :rockin.
i had seen the 2-liter flip top growler at northern brewer and i'm curious about the hand-squeeze tapping device that comes with it. while searching for answers here i noticed someone suggested mrbeer.com for an even better price.
i'm sure you know what i'm talking about but here are the links:
http://www.mrbeer.com/product-exec/product_id/48/nm/2_Liter_Classic_Growler
http://www.mrbeer.com/product-exec/product_id/49/nm/Growler_Tapping_Device
my questions are these....
how long will beer stay carbonated in this combination device? i'm assuming part of the allure is the draft effect but will it keep beer from going flat for a few days while my pops' liver moderates his greatness?
i also read that there is an issue with the introduction of O2 in the beer but if he's going to drink it in a couple days or week, is that really an issue?
does anyone know how tall this combination is? will it stand up in most fridges?
thank you in advance for your help
