Hi guys. I'm about to attempt my first homebrew batch. My question is this. My roommates bought this "Bud Light Draught Ball". Basically its 55 beers in a large plastic ball that has a tap on top. what I'm wondering is whether I can sanitize this thing and use it instead of bottling.
 
I don't think that you can reuse a beer ball. If you could, you would still have to carbonate the beer, which would require C02 and regulators, but again, there really is no way to reseal the beer ball and to tap it you have to puncture the seal.
 
Im gonna vote no on this. I see to many things that could go wrong. Then again I havent ever done it and others might know better.
