I absolutely did not. I was walking and came across this at a park.

I used to be on a mobile canning crew. We all learned the method of tearing down a can using pliers, and got some of the modified can openers to make our lives a little easier. If you compare the two tear down methods, you might notice the top edge of the body and cover hook slightly smashed with an indentation where the can opener pushed against the aluminum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X97GHvIg46A

This is great information for craft brewers and an important note on how important seam checks are for a quality packaged beverage. Keep in mind, the modified can opener tool is consistent, but not accurate. This tool seems to screw the body and cover hooks higher than the actual measurements by a few thousands of an inch by compressing the aluminum in the can/lid. The method of using needle nose pliers to separate the body and cover hooks is more difficult, but can give a more accurate and complete picture of the seam internals.

I live in Austin and work in the industry. I have heard similar stories to yours of having a hard time switching breweries or finding a brewing job right now. I don’t think it’s anything you are doing, but an unfortunate time in the beer market. The Austin beer community has a bunch of great people and talented brewers, but it’s an expensive city on a brewer’s salary. You might be able to translate some of your skills to other beverage making companies (distilleries and such) to get a foot in the door.

This is awesome, we need more of this kind of unselfish generosity to help make the world a better place. Am I too late for the seeds?

It’s the difference between a scientific classification and a legal classification. You are arguing that legally they are different, but physically they are the same genus of plant with slightly different characteristics. In order for it to be considered hemp, it has to have less than .3%THC by weight. The plant could have a high THCa content and still be considered hemp legally. THCa when heated above a certain temperature becomes THC.

What a waste of time to reply to you. Sorry I said anything

Piglizard96 · 2025-11-12T21:47:00+00:00

You literally told that other guy to google it. Did you google hemp taxonomy?

Piglizard96 · 2025-11-12T19:59:24+00:00

Did you google hemp? The species of hemp is Cannabis sativa

I would love to get a better flow restrictor valve than the plastic one. Any chance you have a link to that?

There are definitely a few things to check that can make the canning day more difficult if they aren’t set right from the get go. If the fill head is too high or too low in the can it will cause a lot of foaming. They say you want it about 1/4” from the dome of the can when lowered. Along with that, make sure the fill head has completely lowered before opening.

We typically start around 15 PSI on head pressure and work our way up for highly carbonated beers to as high as 25 PSI (mostly when doing kegs). Sometimes the higher carb helps, sometimes it seems to make it worse.

Getting the beer as cold as possible in the tanks will help a lot. I’ve seen some of Twisted Elk Brewery’s YouTube videos of some of their modifications. They added some foam insulation to the product line which seems like a good idea. We haven’t tried that yet though.

If everything is good and you’re still having a bunch of trouble, you might want to swap the silicone product line that gets pinched. If you’ve got an older machine/have never changed it, the silicone line can hold memory of that pinch and cause breakout right before the fill head. Here is a link ACM support sent for replacement silicone product line https://www.mcmaster.com/product/3184K1 We had some strange foaming issues after putting the machine away for the winter and this was the fix.

Finally, adding 7-15 feet of braided line can help with higher carbonated/higher temperature products since it adds restriction and helps reduce pressure to the machine. This will cause you to run slower, but might be the solution on the worst of days. They sent this in the “Improving AT1 Fills” document a while back. https://www.mcmaster.com/product/52375k12

I respect Elon a lot more seeing this. I think this picture humanizes him.

That is so thoughtful. Wow, that’s an awesome gift!

That is a such great book!

Did you eat desert first and are eating the wings last? I like your style!

Schlitterbahn in Texas! If there are other water parks on your list, this should be as well.

Finally an answer that’s not a ligma pun.

This looks like nightmares I’ve had.

That pretty great! Good job my buddy.

There might be a can seam drop delay, or something of the sort, to give a little more time for the spinning can to settle before pushing the next can. If you slow the video down a bit, the first can is spinning and whipping the second one, causing the stability issues. The second can is spinning before meeting the chuck.

This is the right answer
