I can't figure this out. Why do I need more priming sugar, sometimes 50% more, to properly achieve the correct volume of CO2 at 70F than 50F? There is also an impact on kegging temperatures as well, but I don't do that so I am more intrigued by the effects on bottling. Initially I would have assumed that less priming sugar would be needed for higher bottle priming temperatures as there would be stronger yeast activity to get to the target volumes of CO2. Here is Palmer's nomograph:
