I'm bottling an APA that has been cold conditioned at 4 degrees C for the past week. Fermentation temperature was 18 degrees C. There is 23L to be bottled. I have a desired carbonation level of 2.5 volumes of CO2.
A search of the forums has shown suggestions bulk priming amounts should be calculated from the highest temperature reached during fermentation.
But one of the two bulk priming calculators I use, suggests it should be the beer temperature at bottling.
Bulk priming calculator suggesting use of bottling temperature.
The other bulk priming calculator I use.
Conflicting information.
Using dextrose the difference between bulk priming on the calculators at 4 degrees C and 18 degrees C is 94 grams vs 147 grams. This will make a huge difference to my beer.
Does any one have a definitive answer on this ???
Thanks
