Good point. I mean, the store keeps beer at room temperature. The cans have the same environment for the beer, a pretty clean vessel with CO2 filling the voids. Somehow I just thought it may compromise the beer from drawing some out... I don't know.

Looks like modifying or having them modified is out of the question then. I'm not paying $150 for brazing rod for this, no way no how. The issue isn't having enough to fill a keg, I plan to do 5 gallon batches to keep it easy and not do a bunch of little batches. My concern is keeping it...

My bad on the count, it'd take 40 bottles exactly if I got all 5 gallons, so more like 35-39 realistically. I was unaware of how thin these kegs were. I was expecting a little thicker metal, like sheet metal on a car. 1/16" tungstens are small, but not small enough for that with limited means...

My dad and I are getting all the stuff to start brewing and we're looking into storage vessels right now. Either we're going to have to bottle the beer, and that doesn't sound fun since we only have 1/2 as many bottles as needed for a 5 gallon batch and cleaning nearly 50-16oz bottles doesn't...
