Brewly ACS-1 Automatic Can Sealer

[Paul7189]

Has anyone had any experience of the Brewly ACS-1 machine? Just looking and its a bit cheaper than the cannular and more importantly its actually in stock! Also looks like it is already set up for CDL 202 cans.

Hi Paul, did you research this more? I'd be interested if you bought one and how it performs.
Cheers

Yes I did get one and it’s been flawless so far. I fill 330 and 440ml cans on it that are force carbonated in a corny and then chilled. I’m based just past Chester from your way if you wanted to try it out or when I make a collection on the group buy I could try to bring it with me and pop by the brewery if you wanted to try it out. It weighs about 30kgs a though!

Cheers for the offer! Looking at options, thanks.

If you’re spending the money look at the pro version. It lifts the can up and drops it automatically which is well worth it if you’re doing more than 100 cans haha. I’ve got a Duofiller too to fill them and that’s really good too!

It will be runs of 650, so that would be nice to have.

Are you force carbing or can conditioning?

 

[chopps]

TBC. I would prefer to not condition in the can but will depend on costs of more kit.
I don't have a brite tank and my FV's don't take pressure so options are limited.
I can carb in keg (forced) then transfer keg to can/bottle.
Or prime in a second tank then can/bottle and accept there will be sediment.

Least cost option vs meeting consumer expectation.
Dunno.

@Paul7189 - I'm looking at this exact set up, the Duofiller and the ACS Pro. Your setup still going strong? Still recommend the Brewly can seamer?

Yeah not had an issue since I first set it up. The Duofiller is more about getting carbonation right and getting your kegs cold then there’s no problems there either.

Nice one, cheers @Paul7189
