Force Carbonating at 70 deg?

IslandBrewer · Jul 2, 2013

Hi,

I've been looking around to try to find a chart that will go up to 70 degrees, but the highest I have found is 65 deg. Has anyone found a chart for force carbonating that goes to a temp this high? also anyone know a good level of carbonation for a pilsner? This is my first time kegging my beer so any help would be greatly appreciated. Happy brewing!

I use iBrewmaster on my phone to calculate CO2 volumes and psi. It says a pilsner should be 2.5 vol. and to force carbonate with the set and forget method to use 28.8 psi.

Thanks! I'll have to download that app. How long should it sit before it is carbonated?

The calculator here allows you to input any temperature-

About the same as when doing it at serving temps; 1-2 weeks.
