So I had decided to purchase a can seamer as I was seeing everyone canning. I started to think, Cans aren’t reusable but are recyclable and it will make it easier to share my home brews in cans vs bottles. I really hate having to clean all those bottles a few times, once when I get them back, than again when I go to use them. Its pretty time consuming and thought cans will take away one of those steps at the cost of a can, 8). I have been have been debating purchasing a can seamer for a while now and looked at them all. What my ultimate decision was with Oktober they use US cans and the Cannular uses foreign cans, which means no matter what you need to ship them in. Then Oktober released the Drill powered and using their 4 payment system I purchased with a big box of 16oz cans.

Once the can seamer arrived I quickly had to try it out and was pretty cool to be able to seam a can. I had to really think how would I fill the cans and do I need to purchase anything to do this. I looked at the beer guns and thought that would be nice but then decided I was going to see what I had around to make a filler as I just spend $600 lets hold off for now.

I had a counter pressure filler for bottles and thought this was a great start. I can use it to flush the cans and then fill, not under pressure. So I went down that path and it worked out pretty good but the downside was my back didn’t like the setup so I had to try and adapt my system to make it simple and relaxing to do. Noticed as the keg was getting low, I’d short pour the can until I dropped the PSI on the keg down a little more. Just something I noticed and need to keep an eye on.

Id definitely recommend this setup and so happy I purchased. After this past weekend going to a party and bring beer and not worrying about grabbing all the bottles. Onto the next brew. 8)
