I came across an interesting device for serving growlers on draft at home. It's meant to be for growlers you pick up from the brewery (I backed this because I built my kegerator only to the size to fit corny kegs and not sanke kegs with their couplings; it would have required the use of a collar and I just didn't need the device being any taller), but I don't always have the money to have 3 growlers where growler prices are 20 dollars for 64-oz in San Diego and don't want it going unused, so maybe I was thinking it could be used for smaller batches of experimental homebrew beer....maybe split a one-gallon batch between two growlers.

What are the possibilities of serving homebrew with this device? I know it would probably work if I filled growlers from my kegerator, but what if I wanted to bottle condition using growlers? From what I have read, this device is not meant for force carbing, so I would need to have already carbonated beer.
Is there a possibility that a growler used for bottle conditioning can explode and would you recommend using a disposable mini-keg to bottle condition and then fill a growler from the device? Note since this device is advertised to purge the oxygen from the growlers, I am not worried about oxygen exposure as much regarding transferring beer and I really don't have an issue with oxygenated beer too much anyway.
