Using the calculator located here: Priming Sugar Calculator - Northern Brewer
This will be my first time bottling a batch that I cold crashed in my garage for a day at about 45*F. So my question is, how do I know what temperature to put into this calculator?
If I go with the temperature that the beer fermented at (70*F), I will need 20.63g of corn sugar. Or am I supposed to put the temperature that the beer is currently at now that I left it in the garage (45*F, means I would need 7.53g of corn sugar)?
I know that at lower temperatures the beer will already have more CO2 in it, which is why it requires less sugar to carbonate. But I only left it at the lower temperature for a day, and at that point fermentation was already completed so I don't think that it would have any more CO2 in it than it had when it was at 70* just the day before.
Advise please!
