User tips for an optimal growler experience
Once capped, you're brew will last for up to a month, just like a mini keg.
We add a layer of Co2 to purge the air from the growler as we pour your beer.
When you open your growler, pour and recap it quickly to keep air out and preserve the Co2.
Once opened, you will need to consume your beer in 48-72 hours.
Growler Cleaning & Care
- When finished, just rinse out with hot water. Do not use soap.
- Soap will leave a residue and interfere with your next pour.
- If you have a foul smell or see junk in your growler, put a little vinegar or clorox with hot water, let it sit 15 min's and shake around to loosen it up, then hot rinse again.
