Hello
I have a bo pils that has been on primery now for 2 weeks @ 48°f
I am thinking about raising the temp to do a diacetyl rest before I keg it for lagering but have a question about co2 levels.
Online CO2/priming calculators ask for fermentation temperature in order to calculate how much sugar to add.
Low fermentation temp means less sugar since more CO2 is retained in the fluid.
If I raise the temp to 68°f for two days would I be loosing a fair bit of CO2 in the process and there for need to adjust for it when I add my priming sugar?
