    Can you reuse cans opened with those can top openers I keep seeing in clickbait ads? Like the draft top or something similar. It would make canning super economical and youd only need to buy new lids

    • @KegLand

      It's not really possible to re-seam cans so even if you remove the lid the rip of the can will not seam properly the second time.

      @@KegLand anything out of a glass bottle tastes better. As far as the environmental impact glass is cheaper and less energy intensive than cans to make and while cans are more recyclable than glass most home brewers get multiple uses out of their bottles so the environmental impact is still lower. Shelf life of beer in cans is definitely way better but beer never lasts long enough where I’m from anyway lol. I know a few people with this machine now and they say the machine itself is awesome but most of the cans come dented.

      1. Making sure you have actual overlap especially in the seam 1 operation
      2. Making sure your table is correctly aligned (look at pages 17-19 regarding this in the manual)

      You can do a secondary fermentation in the can if you want to and this is no different to bottling so it will take a few weeks to carbonate. With that said we generally carbonate in the keg so you are filling carbonated beer into the can. In this instance you can drink it straight away.

    I'm guessing this wouldn't run on a power supply (w/ Anderson Plugs) running on a standard US 120V outlet? The power supply mentioned on the page is 240V

      You just need a 110v AC to 24V DC transformer. These are fairly easy to come by. Another easy option if you want to have the machine portable is to use the 18v cordless drill battery such as in this image:

      Please go to More Beer if you are in America and they will supply you this machine and also the 120v power supply for you. We have also been working on a new special machine for America where the power supply is integrated into the machine so this might also be an option for people who prefer the integrated power supply.

      Cleaning can be done with a wet rag fairly easily from the underside. If for some reason you need to remove the top cover this comes off with the included allen keys so it's easy to maintain.

    ? But as far as homebrewing goes, bottles (P.E.T or glass) are more recyclable than cans as bottles get re used for every batch, but with this new cans will need to be purchased every batch.. unless you find a way to re use the can base then it's no better than bottles for the environment and more work as well as more cost... and still worse than kegging into 19L cornys regardless.

    • @KegLand
      @KegLand  5 лет назад +1

      certainly if you want to wash containers you can save more money and also consume less resources. With that said sometimes you just want to go to a BBQ or party take some beers and not have to worry about bringing the empty bottles, or kegs back home. So if you are looking for a vessel that is both disposable and recyclable then cans are the best option.

      I am not sure what you mean by that. In Australia we have a glut of glass that doesnt get recycled and a lot of it ends up in landfill as it's not economical to recycle. Generally in most cases it's cheaper to use new clean sand to make bottles than to recycle glass.
      PET plastic is a similar situation and it is less expensive to buy virgin PET than recycled, cleaned PET.
      So from a business perspective PET and Glass require government rebates, or alternatively companies need to rely on the value of marketing the fact that the container is made from recycled product. This "COST" in the recycling process results in a lowe percentage of glass and PET getting recycled.
      Aluminium on the other hand is more valuable and old empty aluminium cans actually have significant value in comparison which is why higher rates of recycling exist for aluminium cans.
      If you are talking about washing out your own bottles at home then certainly washing your own glass bottle, sanitising it and capping it might end up being more environmentally friendly but that is not exactly comparing apples and apples. We are comparing disposable cans to disposable glass and disposable PET bottles. But to compare a reusable product to a reusable product is not really comparing equals.
      I think a lot of home brews do not have the time to wash, collect, and clean bottles and as a result the only way to keep them in the hobby is to provide a disposable/recyclable alternative or to push them down the avenue of kegs.

      @keglandau 5 лет назад +1

      In this particular video we have just used a very inexpensive printer with wax transfer labels. So if you are happy with black and white then I would just do that.
      If you have the money you can purchase the Zebra printer but to be honest we recently also started to purchase fairly cheap printers such as the
      Deli DL-888T
      This model is just as good as the Zebra. Then for labels you can use the was transfer ones that work quite well and if you want the labels to be waterproof then I would recommend you go with the PET substrate.

      Obviously if you want to print colour labels it's much more complicated and you should go to a label printing company for that.

    Not a fan of cans. KEGs or bottles are much better for the environment, but it's pretty interesting that you can do it at home.
