Canning

Postby j0sh2008 » Sun May 24, 2020 4:17 pm

Hey all,

I just got a canning machine. I'm thinking about mixing some bourbon and coke and then can it.

Just wondering if anyone had any experience doing it?

I got it for canning beer. But I was going to can some pre mixed spirits also. Cost me $750, it's pretty easy to usez I did some beers today with no problems.

I'm going to order cans from Visy next time. But it's min 8000 cans :laughing-rolling: so should last awhile.

There is a few places selling them. You can get 500ml X 207 can for $89.

It's probably cheaper buying in bulk tho. I'm just waiting for a quote back from Visy.
