TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL RUN
8.1
When canning you want the temperature of your product to be as close to
32° as possible for your first run. The key to low dissolved oxygen levels
is to have a perfect marshmallow of foam when the cans leave the fill head.
To achieve this, tank pressure, temperature and carbonation rates must be
experimented with on each beer until this desired condition is met. When
starting out, only can the beer you know will sell in a couple of weeks.

Steps that need to be taken prior to dissolved oxygen testing
8.2.1
Measure dissolved oxygen at the tank. Preferably this should
be at or below 7 ppb.
8.2.2
Measure dissolved oxygen at the machine hook up point
following pasteurizer and buffer (if present). Preferably we want to
see a 0 PPB pick up at this point.
8.2.3
Be sure to remove site glasses from your tank. It is very
difficult to get all of the air purged out of the site glass. Even 1
teaspoon can destroy a lot of beer. We are talking about parts per
billion.
8.2.4
Never use a one and a half inch Brewers hose to feed your
canning line. You have three or four 3/16 inch inner diameter hoses
