It is very infrequent that the calibration settings require adjustment. It is recommended that self-testing occurs prior to opening. To self-test, follow these steps: 1. Pick a brand and tap line to test. 2. Pour a tall beer – make it a perfect pour– 18.7oz. with 1’’ foam collar (for 20oz. glass) 1. Note: rule of thumb for a pint glass (16oz. glass) is 14.5oz. of beer with 1/2 inch foam collar. 3. Let the foam settle and slowly pour that beer into a measuring vessel and verify the pour volume. 4. Go to SmartBar, filter to today’s date, and check the pour reading on the yield tracker\*. 5. If the variance is off more than 3/4 oz.  Let us know: - Send an email to: [support@beerboard.com](mailto:support@beerboard.com) - Include a note with store number, date and time of the test and beer line(s) tested. \*Remember POUR volume reports real time. SOLD data reports the next day. ![](https://support.beerboard.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-25-2022-08-32-10-70-PM.png?width=422&name=image-png-Aug-25-2022-08-32-10-70-PM.png) Flowmeters are mechanism devices that can break or be damaged in the normal course of business!
