I brewed up a Witbier a while back to use as the base for a fruit beer. After primary, I cold crashed, then racked the Wit onto the fruit puree for secondary. After racking I was left with a half gallon of very nice Wit, which I captured in a half gallon brown growler and stuck an airlock on it.
How would you go about carbing this up to enjoy? Can a small growler handle bottle conditioning pressure?
Throw in 1-2 TBSP of table sugar and cap it off. One TBSP will carbonate a growler fairly well, and two will carbonate it a lot.
Some growlers are not safe to carbonate in. Do a search for carbonator caps.
I got a package of fizz drops that if I have more beer than I can get into my keg I bottle a few with them.
What about the caps that have ball lock connectors and screw on to 20 fl oz and 2 L pop bottles?
That’s how I roll. I call it “rescue beer.” I get to sample some of the beer right away and let the rest of it carb up properly. I have no complaints about mine, other than the initial expense.
