Hi guys... spring is here and we have moved to a new house, so once again its time to brew. If you recall, 3 years ago I made a Hefe for a family reunion. When it hit 1.015, I racked it to the keg, stuck a pressure gauge on it, and let the final fermentation provide the carbonation. The beer was a hit and was gone in like 55 minutes.
This year I am making 10 gallons for the same event. Another "cousin" is making 5 gallons of a Pale Ale. We will supplement the 15 with a commercial keg. We probably need close to 25+ gallons for this event.
Anywho... same story... making 10 gallons of Hefe. I transferred it today but had a question about carbonation.
I have the kegs in a room at about 62 degrees. I want to shoot for about 4 volumes of CO-2. If I read the tea leaves right (Carbonation Calculator), I need to get the pressure up to about 45 psi.
Does this sound right for the temp that it will be carbonating at???
If I were to set the gas on it, at 62 degrees, I'd have to set the gas to 62, right?
I can always bleed off the gas. I work from home, so can check multiple times a day.Sorry to be such a stranger. I gave up the PH for mental health reasons, and with no brewing in the winter... I just forgot to check in.
Hope ya'll are doing good.
