"If you hate bottling, you'll love canning." Erm, do these people brew?

**** yeah tinnies

I can't see how it's any different to bottling? Fill a vessel, put vessel in machine, operate machine.

Except it looks like there is a shit load more wastage and cleaning of the can after you fill.

Edit: and closing of the vessel looks like it takes longer....

For $US1500 i want to be able to pour 23 liters of beer in a tank, press a button, and watch it spit out 60 sealed and labeled cans.

Hop Nation in Footscray have a small can seamer they use for take homes.It's a bit Heath Robinsonesque but it seems to work.

The problem with all these machines will be O2 pickup, it's hard to reduce without very good control of the canning process: since the aperture on a can is almost full width it's more difficult to inert than a bottle and the can will tend to pick up more O2 on the way between filler and seamer. A conventional way to reduce this last is a bar blowing CO2 down into the can to form a head, the tricky bit with that is timing it so the can cap goes on at the moment the head reaches the top of the can. Too early and you trap oxygen, too late and you lose beer and get low fills.
