Craft beer lovers and home brewers, gather ‘round! The new Cannular canning machine is here, and it’s changing how we package our favorite brews. Designed to be affordable and user-friendly, this machine opens up a world of possibilities for beer enthusiasts and small craft breweries alike.
Why Canning is Important
Cans offer several key benefits over glass bottles. Here’s why cans should be your go-to choice for packaging beer:
- Light Protection: Cans block all light, preventing damage to your beer. Glass bottles, on the other hand, let harmful light in, which can lead to skunky flavors after just a few minutes in sunlight.
- Oxygen Control: Glass bottles have a rubber seal that allows small amounts of oxygen to enter. This can compromise the beer’s quality over time. Cans keep oxygen out, helping to maintain freshness and flavor.
- Recyclability: Cans are generally more recyclable than glass. Many glass bottles end up in landfills due to poor recycling programs.
- Portability: Cans are lighter than glass and less likely to break. They’re perfect for taking to outdoor events or enjoying by the pool.
The Rise of Canning
The trend in packaging beer is clearly shifting towards cans. Data shows that, since 2013, the volume of beer in cans has doubled across various brewery sizes in the U.S. Australia is catching up, too, and it’s likely that in just a few years, cans will dominate the Australian market as well.

How to Use the Cannular Canning Machine
Using the Cannular machine is straightforward. Here’s a quick guide:
1. Prepare Your Setup: Make sure your workspace is clean and that you have your cans and caps ready.
2. Fill the Cans: Use a beer gun to fill each can, leaving a head of foam at the top. This foam helps push out any remaining oxygen.
3. Seal the Cans: Place the filled can into the machine. Pull the lever back and forth to seal the can properly.
