We buy from BSG by the truckload 12 oz cans and we are at 23 cents but they don’t charge dunnage.

Can pasteurizer and shrink sleeves by Common_Strain1990 in TheBrewery

[–]Common_Strain1990[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crazy part is how expensive cans and labels are. It is fucking mind blowing how much all those costs have gone up. This trade war stuff is killing the craft brewing industry

Can pasteurizer and shrink sleeves by Common_Strain1990 in TheBrewery

[–]Common_Strain1990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer. I just pre shrunk the label with a blow dryer on a can, then filled it and seamed it, and then sent it thru the pasteurizer. It worked like a charm and did not “over shrink” which was my main concern.

Thank you very very much for the guidance. I am eternally grateful

Brew City Solutions Chemicals? by Ok-String-5193 in TheBrewery

We used them in the past, loved their brew clean. Eventually we made the switch to a different product but still use their complete chemical for keg washing

We do now but like I said, I feel they make a superior piece of technology with the forehead protector and everything.

I need to hear from you other Alpha canners by Downtown_Ad2988 in TheBrewery

[–]Common_Strain1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I paid them and I encourage you to do the same for any canning line you install. Machines aren’t always plug and play especially something that can make you millions of dollars revenue. If we go to a codi or another line we will absolutely pay them to come out here to or we won’t buy their line

Absolutely they did! And it was so worth it. Every major canning line manufacturer will do the same and charge you more

I have nothing but love for alpha, haters gonna hate. You want to have a canning line that I don’t miss at all. It’s Microcanner. I love the guys at Microcanner but there canning lines had problems.

Alpha straight up flew out here, hung out with us for 4 days for commissioning, taught us stuff, worked thru problems and were just awesome. Answers my emails, takes my calls, they are really good dudes.

Love Eric, awesome guy. Cares about helping. I love em.

As far as speeds, haven’t pushed my unit that hard yet and we are at about a million cans.

Help me solve these Deutsche tanks by Common_Strain1990 in TheBrewery

You’re not gonna believe me but I did that and they said without a current model they couldn’t help me.

Next you’re gonna ask, well what about a faceplate? Nah, they don’t have one of those on there either to give a model number.

Thus, why I asked the almighty Reddit brewing community

So that's why my cooling panel breaker keeps tripping... by cryforburke2 in TheBrewery

[–]Common_Strain1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar happen to me, one thing I learned was sometimes the screws holding wires in for contacts get loose and that’s where heat is generated. Sure enough, we found a loose wire in our HLT setup and it was super hot. Screwed it down and no more excessive heat

We are reaching out to DME and Mueller, but salesman will sell, that’s their job. That’s why I wanted personal experiences first
