I have started seeing a lot of the new 16 ounce aluminum bottles around. I notice that they have a pry off lid rather than a screw off top. A standard (Brewers best) cap seems to fit them just like a 12 ounce glass long neck. Has anyone tried bottling with these yet?
Bud Aluminum Bottles, has anyone tried these yet for bottling?

Haven't seen one yet, but I'm dying to hear if they are useable!
I have tried to re-cap them and with a bench capper they work, I haven't tried refilling them, I would think that the cleaning salutions would oxidize the aluminum.
The can is almost surely coated in some way. Most all cans are these days.
I may not be the brights bulb on the porch, but, if they work, clean them with something that wont oxidize them.
And so what if it did?
