Hey all,

Bought a growler last night and thought if there was a way to supply CO2 to it I could keep it longer. Anyone had any experience or know of sources for a growler cap with a gas ball lock?

take your pick

I have three of these, one single wall, two double wall. Not a ball lock though, Schrader valve. They work well.

Looks like I'd be making one then Thans

Please, please, please, be careful! I don't want to be reading "Local man sustains cuts to jugular while pressurizing glass vessel" in tomorrow's paper! Be sure to keep the pressure low, and/or rig up a relief valve. Even temperatures changes (ie, in a warm car) can get the gas pressure up quite high.

Yep. Maked me nourvious.

I'd pour it out and take the loss, but I'm a chicken.

Good point Chris, maybe it would be smart to pressurize it in a canvas growler bag for safety.

Id be careful too..A buddy tried this with a SS growler that had the tire valve on the cap, using one of the bike filler co2 rigs, the cap blew off, smoked his hand and dented the ceiling.

After posting in this thread, the company that I mention above has contacted me to let me know that they have redesigned the growler top with a pressure relief valve. I'll be getting replacement tops for mine.

Sounds like the only safe way to go with these. Did they mention the blow off pressure of the prv?

They didn't specify, I will try to find out though.

The company is saying the pressure relief valve will release at 2.3 bar (33.4 psi). But said they are in the final design phase so they wouldn't be available for a little while yet.
