Hello all.
Our brewer's notice is in the review process with the TTB, and we intend on using 1/2 BBL sanke kegs as our tax determination tanks. We're a 2 BBL nano brewery, and our lawyer suggested using the kegs for this purpose.
Quoting the TTB website "Most Common Testing and Measuring Devices Issues":
Paragraph (b) of § 25.42 provides that beer meters, as established by testing, may not exceed ±0.5 percent variance. If a meter test discloses an error in excess of the allowable variation, the brewer must immediately adjust or repair the meter. Adjustments need to reduce the error as near to zero as practicable.
How do you calibrate and use kegs?
Do you use a flow meter and make some mark at the 1/2 BBL point? And if so, do you have to recalibrate this mark every so often? Does the mark you make have to be within ±0.5 percent, if that's even possible, or just the meter itself?
Do you have to use the flow meter every time you fill the kegs, or only to calibrate them?
Thanks,
Dave
