Beverage Production: BBL to Case Yields
| Can Size (24/Case) | Yield per 1 BBL | Total Ounces | BBL per Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 oz Standard | 13.78 Cases | 3,968 oz | 0.0726 BBL |
| 16 oz Tallboy | 10.33 Cases | 3,968 oz | 0.0968 BBL |
| 19.2 oz Stovepipe | 8.61 Cases | 3,968 oz | 0.1161 BBL |
| 12 oz Sleek | 13.78 Cases | 3,968 oz | 0.0726 BBL |
*Calculations based on 1 US Beer Barrel (BBL) = 31 US Gallons. Standard cases assume 24 units per case.
Accounting for Production Line Loss
To calculate an accurate production run, you must account for Total Liquid Loss. On a standard canning line, loss typically occurs during:
- Line Priming: Filling the hoses and heat exchangers.
- Filler Loss: Foam-over and low-fills during startup.
- Quality Control: Cans pulled for seam checks and dissolved oxygen (DO) testing.
Pro-Tip: Most craft canning runs factor in a 2% to 5% loss rate depending on the carbonation levels and equipment efficiency.
