    Hop Delusion was never canned from my understanding.
    Would be awesome if they did so I can take it more places, but I'm sure the aluminum would ruin the taste.


    Thanks for the waxing GIF guys. I now have to go buy some wax.
    Also, what are the batch #'s with the bad caps? Make it easier to check with that info on our end.

    I highly recommend you order the wax beads, they are so incredibly easy to use.

    Cans are lined. The aluminum does not affect flavor. It's actually better at preserving the flavor.

    Have you ever had beer from a keg and thought the aluminum ruined the taste?

    I can almost guarantee it, I've never been to a homebrew store that doesn't.

    LOL... sealing loons is kinda redundant. Cork, cap, and wax is probably a but much.

    Walmart has nice pots for around $5... much better than a soup can.

    About how many bottles can you seal with just one bag of wax beads? I know it depends on how deep you dip the bottle and how many coats you apply. I'm looking to buy some beads from Austin Homebrew, but not sure how many to purchase.

    *Edit: Please disregard this question. I just read the website and it says it's good for approximately 60 bottles.

    I would say 60 is a low # based on my experience. I did approximately 35 bottles today, double dipped, on one can fill (and there is still some leftover wax in there). Typical bag will fill the soup can at least 3 times, so that comes out to more like 100 bottles, double dipped.
