Homebrew Canners - Can Seamers

[drez77]

looks like they've got a canner that's marketed towards the home brewer now.

I think you are talking about the Oktober designs one. I saw that and I am still glad I got the one I did. I like the way this works for adding automation to it. Once you start the motor, if you add one, it does all the rest. No need to move the dies in manually.

Thank you for the video. Did it come with motor, or you add it yourself?

I added it. They have one with a motor but it is more money and I had one laying around that I knew would work fine.

The SL1 works great. Not as messy as people said it would be-the biggest "mess" was from the starsan draining from the cans. When I operate the canner, I place the lid, THEN turn it on, complete the seaming process, then turn off the drive motor. I stand close enough to it I catch what little flies off the cans. The canning process also creates a perception that the beer is better-had some during the superbowl and all that I put out was gone. I've also used it to can an old batch of mead too. I'll be canning hard seltzer, carbonated water, and tea too.
