warra48 I've drunk all my homebrew and I'm still worried. Joined 16/7/07 Messages 3,296 Reaction score 663 Location Corlette NSW 3/9/12 #7 I bottle cold all the time. Works fine, and I carbonate within the range for the style. However, my personal preference is to always carbonate at the low end of the range, but that's just me.
