I will be bottling an American Wheat today. I usually bring the carboy out in the garage the night before bottling to let everything settle before I bottle the next day. I brought the carboy outside last night and it got down to about 45F last night and right now it is 49F. So, I know that you need to use less priming sugar when the beer temp at bottling is colder.
Beermith says that bottling at 50F requires 4.13 ounces compared to 5.20 ounces at 70F. Why the big difference in amount of priming sugar when bottling cold? The beer will be at 70F after it is bottled.
