Cannular pro shelf life

[toffle]

Does anyone have any experience with the shelf life of beer packaged with the Cannular Pro system? I have been cautioned (by a representative of a competing brand) not to expect more than a few weeks before the beer is no longer drinkable. I brew for a (very) small seasonal taproom in southern Ontario, and we would like to offer take out cans to our customers. I suppose the deciding factor would be that kind of filling method is used - counter pressure, as opposed to open transfer. We would definitely not have the kind of volume to justify an sort of canning line. We would likely be packaging a few cases per week.

Can anyone offer any guidance in this regard?

Thanks,
Tom

I'm sure the Cannular system is made by kegland Australia.

If I were you Email kegland directly and don't listen to the opposition.

My personal thoughts
Why would anyone spend thousands of dollars for a canning machine if thier packaged beer would last only a few weeks!

Sorry I rekon that's total BS.

As long as the beer was packaged with all due diligence to mitigate O2 ingress it should store just as long as in a keg given similar storage (temperature) conditions .

Don't hesitate to get in touch with kegland they are quick to reply when emailed.

Yes, i am sure the competing system is telling the truth 100%.

All those canners use nearly the same basic system
