How would this work as a beer growler?

I dont think it'd seal tight enough like a growler to keep it "fresh" as when you buy the beer. You may feel free to try it but i honestly think you'll have flat beer til you finish it!

It would definitely keep it cold, I'm not sure about carbonation though. If you screwed it on really tight probably it would work for a day or two

That's a good question. Unfortunately, I know nothing about brewing beer so I am unable to give you an answer. Sorry

My husband says yes; it's a growler with a screw top that looks like a keg. No attachments needed.

you would drill a hole through the bar, the beer hoses would go through the hole and into a refrigeration unit. You would then screw the tap in place into the bar. I have mine screwed directly to the top of my kegerator with 2 five gallon kegs and the co2 tank inside.

I only have used it with beer Heiniken, I think can only be used with this brand, please consult the Manual beertender

You need bottles with the holes on either side of the rim so the wires can hook into. Plain beer bottles will not work

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 actually brew myself. If you're looking to use this to just bottle your already-carbonated beer, you'll be perfectly fine. As far as carbonating your beer via priming sugars in this growler goes, I'm not really sure. The seal seems similar to other seals I've used in the past for priming sugar carbonation so I think you'd be fine as long as you get your measurements right. I wouldn't put in too much more than about 2-3 tablespoons if you're looking to go that route.Hope that helped!

Just checked, I have a growler. The mouth of the growler is to large. It falls through.

Good question. The faucet is NOT a Perlick faucet (which is a brand). I measured it to be sure and yes, the growler filler will work fine. In fact, I'm ordering one for myself!

You could, but I wouldn't recommend it. The pressure won't stay constant and over time your beer could gain or lose carbonation. I use this when I take a keg to a party with a picnic tap. Works great for that.

No. The caps of growlers are not designed to handle the pressure that happens through natural carbonation process with home brewing. Many, many forums and books (such as Joy of Homebrewing) specifically mention not attempting this. Ask a local brewery who bottles with growlers and they will tell you the same thing. Better off sticking to regular brown bottles or, as others have suggested, Grolsh style bottles with the flip lid. Screw-top glass bottles do not work either.

I think you'd have to get a mason jar with a really small mouth and a REALLY big stopper to make this work. A better idea is to use a glass gallon wine or cider jug that you get from the store (after drinking the contents of course) then take it to the hardware store to get a rubber stopper that fits. Then drill a 3/8" hole in the stopper and stick the airlock in. Besides, a mason jar won't be much of a batch size. When you are ready to go big get a used Culligan water cooler jug and brew in that. That's what I use and they work great, they're light and pretty much disposable if they get too cruddy inside.

I did. Worked just fine. No problems. Seemed to heat evenly, and the beer came out great.

Our local microbreweries won't fill it. What we have been doing is filling growlers and transferring the beer after sanitizing, no need to add sugar. We are using this with a mini kegorator, with the CO2 cartridge it will last a good month, or until the beer runs out (whichever occurs first).

Not long at all; once you have opened it and poured the first glass I would try and finish it that day. The stainless steel walls keep it cool for a bit but there is no pressurization... There are growlers on the market, I have them, that are double insulated and can be charged that keeps beer cold and fresh for longer but you are going to pay more. Google drink tanks if you are interested

I am not familiar with what a growler was until I researched it online, but 2 would not be able to fit at all and one would fit maybe laying down.
