Just wanted to start a quick new discussion on this. We are interested in sampling our beer at various points for DO, mainly cans fresh off the filler. I am looking for the best tool to do this with, and we are interested in sampling cans pre-seamer (with the lids off). This way, there will be minimal down-time for our packaging crew.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated for equipment and technique. Are there hand-held optical units or are they exclusively in-line? How long must we wait to take a sample when it comes off the filter; I know CO2 microbubbles will settle after 15 minutes but I'm not sure how this will affect DO readings.
Ideally we would like to purchase a unit that we could also use for DO readings pre- and post- filtration, etc
Thanks!
