Bulk Priming Amount After Cold Conditioning

[JDW81]

Rather than start a new topic like I would usually do, I'll utilise this.

Does volume of co2 affect final abv% especially when bulk priming.

If bulk priming a lager and I did a d-rest, do I then calculate the bulk priming off the d-rest temperature?

And also, what is the basic principle behind different amounts of carbonation?

How long was the D-rest?

If you left it at D-rest temps for a few days then you'd calculate the amount of priming sugar based on the highest temperature your fermentation reached. Chilling it down won't add any extra CO2.

No worries, it's still in d rest, reached temp today and will probably leave it for another 24 hours I'd say.

So ill go off the d rest temp.

Who would have thought bulk priming could be so entertaining ?

Ask Ducatiboy Stu about rehydrating yeast if you want a real buzz!
