Both machines are available in 120V/9amps and 240V/6amps.
A standard electrical outlet is sufficient to power your machine.
Our machines support both 32oz and 25.4oz/750mL cans. On the Standard 8000D, all you'll need to switch between the two sizes is a plastic piece called a spacer that boosts the baseplate up a few inches so that it's tall enough to seam the 25.4oz cans. If you would like a spacer, please request one in the Customer Order Notes so we can make sure to send you one.
If you purchase or own a Direct Drive, all you have to do is move the baseplate to the higher notch on the body of the machine.
Our newest versions of both the Gold Standard 8000D and Platinum Pro Direct Drive EL300DD machine come with an updated dome chuck, which can seam both resealable and pop-top lids.
If you own an older machine and want to switch/seam both, please select the Seamer Exchange Program on our website for $775 and we will send you a machine with the updated dome chuck.
Unfortunately, other machines on the market cannot seam cans to our resealable lid.
Right now our seamers are only capable of seaming the 32oz or 25.4oz cans, due to them sharing the same diameter lid. We don't currently offer any kind of conversion kit, but you can find machines for that size can at WAFCO.com.
If your Standard 8000D machine reaches a point where it is broken beyond repair or it would cost more to fix the machine than it's worth, we recommend participating in the Seamer Exchange Program. For $775, we will send you a newly refurbished Standard 8000D machine and you send your old machine back to us. Once you've received your new machine, simply place your old machine in the same box and, using the return label we send to you, ship it back! We cover the cost of shipping both ways and you get a machine that has all new tooling and parts for a fraction of the cost of a new machine! You can now order a Seamer Exchange on our website!
This is available for purchase on the website.
We need to receive the old machine back within two weeks or we will charge you full price for the new machine.
We offer an upgrade option for the Direct Drive that's very similar to the exchange program. We would put the money you already paid for your current machine toward your new machine and then you would pay the difference and we'll ship you a Direct Drive. Once you've received your new machine, simply place the old machine in the other box we ship you and, using the return label we send to you, ship it back!
This option is not currently available on the website, so please send us an email at info@crowlernation.com or give us a call at 303-827-3300 so we can create this order for you.
We need to receive the old machine back within two weeks or we will charge you full price for the new machine.

There are also some how-to videos on our website that explain some of the more common questions and issues we see.
Crowler cans CANNOT be used for holding beverages such as cold brew coffee, root beer, or anything that does not contain alcohol. This is primarily because the BPANI liner is specifically designed for alcoholic beverages. This can become a safety issue when the liner is holding liquid that it was not intended for and/or the liquid remains in the can for an extended period of time.
The BPANI liner is only designed for carbonated alcoholic beverages with at least 5% ABV. If the liquid is non-alcoholic, the liner will deteriorate and this allows toxic bacteria like botulism to grow inside and contaminate the liquid.
Yes, but we do not recommend storing the cans for longer than 2 weeks. After that, the liner will start to affect the taste of the beer.
The shelf life of a filled Crowler can vary. Some of the factors that affect the shelf life/stability of the can are:
If all of these are followed, the beer should be fine if consumed within 7 days, although we have heard stories of people having much longer shelf lives.
The three subjective factors that are difficult to gauge when determining shelf life are: the person pouring the beer, or quality of the pour itself; the beer style (some beers pour easier than others); and how cold you are keeping it (e.g. is it rolling around the backseat of a car for a day or was it put right in the fridge?).
Finally, the Crowler was created as a "to go" option and is not meant to house alcohol for extended periods of time - especially beverages other than beer.
No, the BPANI liner is NOT designed to be used more than once and can become a safety issue if it is.
The resealable lids are completely recyclable, except for the screw-on cap. We've been told that this can technically be recycled and that most facilities have a way to separate the non-recyclable portion of the top from the rest of the aluminum. The seal inside the cap is a plant-based material that de-gases the liquid in the can.
No; the inks and material used are not recyclable due to silicone in the material and wax in the inks. In order to recycle the can, please remove the label first and throw it away separately.
Cleaning the cans is not required nor necessary, but we do recommend rinsing the cans out with water if they are a little dusty.
We recommend purging at a low pressure (7 psi), high volume (standard beer line) for five seconds.
