Where in the world do you get canned pig brains? And and if they actually do can them, why would they can them? Sell them in every grocery store around here. Fry them up with scrambled eggs.

I have never heard of let alone tried braintanning with canned brains. But I would expect them to work. I generally cook the brains I use for tanning by boiling in water. I boil them to kill any bacteria that may be there and then add some cool water to make a slurry that is warm, not too hot. It will ruin the hide if you put it in water that is too hot.
I'd try running the brains through a blender, my wife insists I use a separate one for this, and mix them in warm water to apply to the hide. Let us know how it works, I'd be interested in hearing more about it.

i'd go to a butcher and get them 'if' it was me.
the only canned brains we have in the stores aorund here are Rose Pork Brains in MIlk Gravy - which has corn starch and milk in it, whihc may (may not) be an issue)
but from the butcher - you know you are gettin brains, all brains, and nothing but brains
