stainless easier for welding, no restriction for cleaning chemicals (within reason), does not form an easily removable oxide layer, naturally shiny, harder to scratch.
Alu; Lighter :hmm: easier to drill and grind

The question was not to convert into a boiler but to store and serve the Ale. :

Oooops, cant see any difference so really, depends on price, may be just the cleaning thing
Ali Kegs are lined with a resin layer . . . as they age this layer wears off with the harsh cleaning and has to be replaced . . . it is a RPITA to inspect and know when to replace. . . . Lighter than SS . . . will corrode if kept outside (I've seen it) in the (acid) rain. . . . easily dented.

If the resin layer wears off will it contaminate the the beer?

Sorry Aleman i not understand.. :wha:
Sorry I worked for Matthew Brown / S&N Production for a time, and ali kegs were segregated on the kegging line to ensure that they were checked frequently . . . I always assumed that it was because if the resin coat was worn it could taint the beer. . . . for the same reason we used steel blanks in the canning line
