Surly Brewing Co. Case Study on Haffmans Solutions

This case study documents the implementation of Pentair's Haffmans’ Inpack TPO/CO2 Meter, type c-TPO at Surly Brewing Co. The brewery, located in Minneapolis, MN, produces 64,000 barrels of beer annually and has a strong focus on maintaining beer quality through oxygen management. Initially, Surly Brewing utilized a Haffmans c-DGM for monitoring dissolved oxygen content but sought more precise measurements, specifically for headspace oxygen. After a hands-on demonstration, they opted for the c-TPO Automatic Package Testing System, which allows for real-time measurement by the packaging operator. This system has enabled Surly to enhance the quality of their packaged brews and address any operational issues swiftly. The real-time feedback from the c-TPO has encouraged operators to take ownership of the testing process, leading to long-term improvements in production and validation of line performance. The case study illustrates the importance of precise oxygen measurement in ensuring product quality.
