Filling Methods For Beer Cans Easy Guide

Whilst canning may not be for everyone I think it is important for homebrewers to understand what is on offer here and how it all works. This video is the 3rd part in my canning series and I hope people find it useful.

Thanks David! I decided to get the Oktober Benchmk because it's the cheapest I was able to find, and it works great! Canning definitely isn't for everybody but it fits my needs better than bottling (main one is lots of friends and family live out of town and shipping cans is much less of a hassle), plus there's something novel and fun about cracking a can of homebrew open. Thanks! :)

Hi David, great video. Do you think you could make a video of you actually canning? It all makes sense from your video but seeing you do it would be very beneficial. I think the community would be very grateful. Thank You. ✌️

KDVPM just randomly popped up as an ad on a random video here on youtube, .and i instantly recognized your voice. Very cool!

HI David, thanks for the video, can I use the same method canning iced tea?

[williamolayabernal]

Thanks David for sharing your knowledge. One doubt, if you push the beer at a lower pressure than the carbonation (for example push at 3-5 psi from the keg, if you have a beer with 2.8 CO2 volumes at 4 ° C, it requires a pressure of 15.1 psi), don't you run the risk of having a flat beer in the can?. Thanks

Hi David,
Great video, I have recently purchased the cannular from Kegland and I have had a few attempts at canning. I bought the 500ml cans from kegland also. I have an issue with the taste of the beer, from my keg it tastes fine in a glass but from the can it tastes soapy, the cans were rinsed with stellar San prior. Any ideas on why this is the case. On every occasion this happens. It is very noticeable. Cheers mate

Thanks mate. What is co2 purging? I just want to bottle or can beer that ends up clear without crap in the bottom.

[Sapphrine]

Possibly a daft question but do you still CO2 purge when filling from a faucet? Its seems like the answer should be a yes but less waste is always good hence checking!

Hi David
Thank you for your video, I got a trouble. After process of keg carbonation by Co2, I canned beer. When I open the can. My beer got flat ( I lost Co2) There is no foam in my beer. 
Do you know what step is my mistake or how can I fix it.

[plaupez]

Hey David. How far up should I fill the cans for natural carbonation? Should I leave some headspace?

[sendoprey]

What kind of DO are you looking at for cans purged and filled with a beer gun?

[michaelellis]

Hi David
I would love to start canning my beer. I don't have a keg set up and will be doing it from the fermenter. Is it still ok to fill cans without having a foamy head? Thanks Mike

Hi David! I've been using the cannular for about 1, 5 months now. So far I've been just filling the cans straight from the kegerator tap faucet and always noticed some drop in CO2 when opening them compared to just filling a glass from the same system. I'll try to attach a hose and fill them from the bottom to control losing gas. However what I don't like about it is when I push the seal lever for the first action I always have some splashing happening to the left side (facing the cannular). Is it normal or do you think it means that the rollers are not adjusted properly, should I try to fiddle around with adjusting them more precisely to avoid getting beer/foam all over the place? Otherwise I love this product much easier than bottling.

Hi David, Thanks! I was looking for such Video! May i ask "just for dummies" - how PROPERLY to fill CANS from TAP, to store them at least a month fresh? What adapters to use? How to Purge with CO2? I have ordinary Tap and Canning Machine. What are your advises, and what do you recommend to order? Thank you in advance. Please reply if possible

[eriktindeland]

Hi David, thanks for a nice and informative video as always.
I have a question for you, i don't know if you have any experience with this, but it's worth a shot. Would you be able to fill pre carbonated beer straight from a Fermzilla/Fermentasaurus into cans/bottles with a beergun?

[adrianaidone]

Great video David, thanks.
Do you know if i fermented under pressure in a Fermzilla, could I then use a bottling gun straight from the fermenter? And if the beer is carbonated under pressure, would bottles then need carbonation drops/sugar?

[smallbatchbrewingco]

Do you have trouble with foaming using the gun ? Cheers David :-)

[dantedeluca]

Hey David, if I were to have a friend filling with a gun and me canning, how many do you think we could can per minute?

[JerichoPlaysGames]

Instead of filling beer, can you say, fill olive oil?

[ridekernow]

Surely cans come already sterile from the manufacturer?
