Bulk Priming

[daveHQ]

i have a coopers pale ale ready to bottle, i used the yeast out of some coopers pale ale bottles (i made a starter) and a coopers APA kit & 1kg of brew enhanser 2

it was fermenting happliy at 14-16 deg for about 3 days and then the weather went bad and the temp dropped to about 10-12deg for about a week, it fermented down to 1020 and it stayed there for another week without moving, temp was around 10deg so i gave it a gentle swirl and put it in a tub of water and put a fish tank heater in it and heated it upto 20deg

fermentation re-started and it has been at 1012 for a few days now

i am going to bulk prime it but i'm unsure on what temp to put into the calculator?

do i use the temp it finshed at or the temp it was at for most of the time?

i'm assuming i'd put in 20deg (where it finished) but if i get it wrong i could get bottle bombs so i thought i'd better ask first

Highest temp the brew reached after primary finished. Not much difference between 18 and 16, fair bit of difference between 20 and 7.

i had a few bottles expode a few months ago after i used carb drops, not something i want to happen again

20 degrees looks like the right option, some opinions may differ though!

edit: I'm slow
