Will this bottle hold pressure without breaking if I use it to bottle beer.

I haven't tried to use it as a growler, but it hold up to being frozen and thawed so it'll probably work. Sorry; I know that's not the best answer, but let us know if you try it out!

I've used it for similar purposes. It has held carbonation for over a year. Replacement gaskets purchased in the MidWest are a bit thicker and will probably give an even better seal. With respect to bursting under pressure, I don't know what equipment you have or your process. If you're keg carbonating and transferring, you shouldn't have any problems with bursting. If you're bottle carbonating, make sure don't go crazy with the sugar charge. With typical bottles, if there is more than 10 g/l fermentable sugar available to the yeast at bottling you might be risking an explosion problem. (This should be easy to calculate assuming you let the yeast consume all fermentable sugars and gravity has stopped dropping prior to adding the carbonation sugar charge). Most beer charge rates are below 10g/l sugar, so you shouldn't have a problem. But if you monitor a gravity drop of more than .005 units during carbonation, you might be getting into the danger zone. I bottle pasteurize carbonated cider in these bottles to 150F which dramatically increases the pressure inside the bottles. I had one explode out of about 150 bottles (which probably had to do with not leaving enough headspace above the liquid to absorb the pressure of the expanding liquid). That's the long answer. The short answer is: Yes they'll be fine, if you control the sugar charge and leave a couple inches of headspace. You might find some valuable information by googling (giara clamp top kitchen bottle).

No -It needs to have the "Holes" in the top of the bottles (on the sides)I believe these are Only for brewery type Bottles.

probably - it's pretty sturdy and if you have it resting on a solid surface it won't flex and it is 2" deep so depending on how large your bottles are it should be fine.

I've only used mine for beer so far, it works great and it's stainless. Really solid and no problems at all with it.

I have not had any problems with loose caps. I have, however, had problems with the bottles breaking, splitting, and leaking.

It is tight to start with, loosens a bit over time... It should never be really loose as it has to hold quite a bit of pressure. Also, never open it immediately after (or during) brewing as you could be injured (read the manual for more on that).

No. But it will still pump fluid out of the bottle. Just don't tip it over. :)

I haven't thought about it being used with beer before. The twist top fitting is designed specifically for water bottles. It is air tight. Granted I haven't been around a keg in a while so I can't say about the fittings. But if what you have or can adapt to a general five-gallon water bottle fitting, then I don't see why not.

I haven't had any problems with mine, it does slightly bend with more pressure but it does fine for me.

You should have no problem if the beer has finished ferminting. The plastic bottles have a great deal more flex than you might think. However, reguardless of the type cap you use, don't drop one or be prepared to clean up a mess.

I don't think it would break, but it does bend easily under pressure. It only contacts the tank on the short sides, so there is not a lot holding it up. It doesn't contact the rim on the long sides so there is room for the filter or air lines. If you keep your tank full it would be easy for water to get on top of the cover.

I have this installed on my water well pressure tank the old one was plastic and crap this is a very well made. I am sorry, but I do not know if it is suitable for brewing. MY water well keeps pressure at about 40- 50 Psi it works great for that. If you brew and your pressure is ion that range I would say go for it.

No - It can not withstand the pressure and will split. At least ours did. Hope this helps!!

It will be tight. I've found regular cans of Coke, standard Coors Light bottle and normal bottles of water fit ok but a pint bottle may be a bit fat.

Never broke, but bottles are heavier then I thought. Baby not strong enough to hold bottle. I just got silcone bottles with wide mouth and they are very light and easy to hold and wash.

Yes, it will handle the bottles perfectly. If you purchase from us Magic Mountain Water Products through Amazon.com we

No it won't break, but I would try to cool down your wort as quickly as possible before transferring to the fermenter. BullDog Brewhouse.
