Priming/Brixing
1. Connect the syrup line to the syrup tank (or the Bag-
in-Box).
2. Slowly open the syrup sampling valve and let it run
into a pail until all the sanitizer is removed and
full-strength product is flowing. Do not open the
valve so much that the syrup line to the hopper is
drained.
Figure 6-38
CAUTION! Failure to remove all sanitizing
solution may result in damage to the freezing cylinder.
Brix is the ratio of syrup to water that will directly
affect the quality and taste of the product. Brixing
should be done before priming the freezer and when
a change in syrup flavor has been made.
Allow the product to flow over the refractometer. The
brix reading should register 13 to 14. A reading
higher than this would cause a darker, richer product.
The refrigeration system would have to run longer to
freeze this excess syrup. A reading lower than this
could cause a freeze-up in the freezing cylinder
because of the excess water.

3. To adjust the brix, turn the adjustment screw in the
service panel. Clockwise adjustments increase the
amount of syrup to water, and counterclockwise
adjustments decrease the amount of syrup to water.
Adjust the screw in small increments and check the
brix again.
Repeat this step until a correct brix reading is
registered.
