transporting after carbing

[Bh750]

So we're going away this weekend and I'd like to bring some of by brew. I've been force carbing my latest batch. Newbie question: once carbinated can I keep it in a 1 gallon carboy or will the pressure make it explode? I do have bottles groesch style and figure I can bottle it. We have quite a long drive so dont think it will stay cool.

Guess regardless of traveling or not after force carbing (I do it in a 2 liter bottle) can I then put the carbed beer in glass bottles? figured I could but also worried about bottle bombs.

Beer Bottles & Growlers are designed for "normal" CO2 pressure of 2 to 3 volumes and with the appropriate cap will not be a problem unless your ferment is not complete.

Are you force carbonating in a 1 gallon glass carboy? If so how do you do that?

Transporting after carbing isn't an issue, that's why bottling was invented

I'm not sure why you would want to carb a carboy, however I would recommend the bottles you have.

And are you asking if you can then move carbed beer from a carboy to glass bottles ? Or from a keg?

If from keg to bottles, yes, however you may need a beer gun

You could just leave it in the 2 liters.
