I think you would be OK to do that. Bottled beer goes through temp swings all the time, even the commercial stuff does. From canning/bottling, to warehousing, to shipping, to retail storage, to retail sale, to consumer storage. Not all those stages are in a refrigerated environment. I would do the the bottling before a growler if you're going to store them for any period of time. Growlers are OK of you're going to consume it in a day or three.

I've also emptied the last of a keg into bottles to make room for the next keg.
Yes, they can stay at room temp.

As a general rule, the warmer the storage the quicker they age/condition. So, beer kept at cooler temps will generally last longer.

Thank you all for the insight. I truly appreciate the knowledge you have shared. Now on to research kegging and all that goes into it.

Great info. thanks for sharing. The welding supply shop next door to my work has 5 lb. cylinders cheap and they exchange cheap enough for me. I plan on making something like BlackDuck had posted on here. See the thread titled, "Easy Keg Coolers." Sorry there's no links. I haven't figured that out yet. Also need to figure out how to post pics.

If you get a keg, co2 tank and regulator and a picnic tap you are pretty much in business, that’s what I am using for now.

As far as posting pics. Tapatalk seems to be the easiest way for me.

I will have to get back to using Tapatalk. I had some trouble in the past. I too plan on using a picnic tap until it becomes necessary to step up and out of a cooler like BlackDuck made. I don't have fridge space, but I am looking for a second fridge now. Does the CO2 in the fridge/cooler effect the pressure needed to pump beer?
