So, I got to go by the Tank as they were using the services of Iron Heart Canning. Guess what make of canning line those guys use? Wild Goose! So, here are some notes from my field trip with Moh and the gang at Iron Heart and the Tank.

| The Truck from Iron Heart |
 |
| Here is where the cans are cleaned and sanitized before being purged of O2 and filled. |
 |
| Keeping the system supplied with the right amount and strength of cleaners and sanitizers |
 |
| This is a messy process, but they lose very little: Less than 10% |
 |
| One side of the purge/fill process |
 |
| Cans are purged of CO2 with O2, then filled with delicious beer, then the lid is slapped on and seamed. |
 |
| Each can is weighed to insure a proper fill. |
 |
| Throughout, Willie, pulls random cans out for checking O2 pick up. All of these samples were within tolerances. |
 |
| Checking again, and again. |
 |
| Close up of the labeler and spritzer. |
 |
| Another shot, this one includes the Zahm, which checks for pressure in the cans. |
 |
| They have this bad boy as the loader, a little redneck engineering. |
