    • @KegLand

      If that is the case go through this manual:
      www.kegland.com.au/media/pdf/How%20to%20Setup%20Cannular%20and%20Check%20Can%20Seam.pdf
      The two most important things are:
      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)
      If you check these two things your cans should easily hold over 90psi.

      @@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.

      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.

      We prefer to go through distributors in each country so the customer gets a high level of support. Although technically we could ship to India ultimately we would prefer to go through a distributor. At the moment we do not have any distributors in India. If you have any recommendations please get them to contact us and we would be more than happy to appoint a distributor.
      I know India has a large supply of tin cans and this is a big industry so potentially we should appoint a Indian tin can manufacturer as our distributor.

    ? 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  Před 5 lety +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
      @keglandau Před 5 lety +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.
