- oh. Well, buckets are cheap. You can't be sure on the IPA unless you get a reading. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 13:23 13
  - fwiw, we had at least two IPAs that made bottle bombs because they got stuck. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 13:23 12
    - good to know. - znufrii Apr 27, 13:24 11

        i would have thought the kegs had some safety valve like a water heater or steam kettle pressure cooker -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:39 4
        
        I'm not familiar with kegs at all. I know a carboy can explode if the vent gets clogged, and that is ugly. - loosilu Apr 27, 13:40 3
        
        can be any size, really - znufrii Apr 27, 13:48
        
        around here a carboy is just a large glass jug consumers can have filled at a brew pub -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:46 1
        
        that's a growler. :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 14:07
