Been mulling cans around in my head for quite some time now.
Since the oscar blues tour on BB video actually.
I know, a little mad, maybe I should call a shrink. Anyone ever had these thoughts before? I've been trying to research the can sealers and info is hard to come by, but every once and a while I can pickup some decent info. It's pretty hard to even get good info on beverage sealers alone, usually everything is on sealers for cans you would get your peas and carrots in. I've seen some hand driven ones online, mostly old models though that aren't in production anymore (usually old sites that don't get updated or archived files). Big commercial ones are easy to find, if you want a fully automated process and have a bare minimum of 20 grand sitting in your back pocket (less taxes )
There is an extrusion plant in my area. I want to stop in and see if they would actually sell 12 oz can stock and lids by the pallet and if they would what they would charge.
The whole idea seems way out of HB ablity. That's obvious. But hell, i've seen people discourage others for even thinking of malting grain on here. Now people are talking about it and doing it left and right (well maybe not talking on here about it much).
We've got Yuri making his own SS roller mill and SS conical, John Beere being featured in Zymurgy for building a freaking walk in cooler. :rockin: If there is any resource that would be able to spark good crazy progress I think we have it here.
