Default Shelf-life of alky sitting around in 5gal. jugs ???

got 15 or 20 gallons sitting around in 5gal gas jugs the past 6 months up off the cement on the shelf, who has some knowledge with older alky not in sealed drum, some of the properties of the fuel may suffer I imagine ?

That depends on how good your jug is sealed up. It will also depend on how much humidity you have around the jug. If it wasn't sealed up air tight it will attract water like a mother. If it was sealed up air tight you will be fine.
