Description
|
 | Choose the Carbonation command on the Tools menu. |
| Enter the desired carbonation level, temperature while carbonating, and volume of beer to carbonate. |
| Read the carbonation pressure for forces carbonation, or the weight of sugar to add when priming the beer to achieve the desired carbonation level. |
| Volumes of CO2 Desired - The desired level of carbonation. One volume of CO2 is defined as 1 liter of CO2 dissolved into 1 liter of beer. Most beers use between 2.0 and 3.0 volumes for carbonation. Carbonation levels below 2.0 are used only in traditional English draft beers. |
| Beer Temperature - For forced (Kegged) carbonation, this is the temperature at which the keg will be carbonated. For bottled beer, this is the temperature of the beer when it is primed and bottled (not the storage temperature). |
| Beer Volume - The amount of beer to carbonate. |
| CO2 Carbonation Pressure - The amount of keg pressure required, over an extended period (usually 2 days) to achieve the desired carbonation level. |
| Weight of Corn Sugar - If bottling with corn sugar, this is the amount of corn sugar to add to the batch to achieve the desired carbonation level. |
| Dried Malt Extract - The equivalent weight of dried malt extract required to achieve the desired carbonation level. Note - Dried malt extract (DME) yields vary substantially between manufacturers, which can cause variation in your carbonation level. This calculation is based on an "average" DME yield -- your actual results may vary. |
