I could not have said it simpler I do not think you need all these equations 50' of 1/2" tubing even at a slowed rate is still going to cool wort. It is not rocket science!

Ok I'm not in a hurry so I will wait till the primary fermentation is complete in the new batch before I crank it back down. Will the temp hurt the finished batch though, not concerned how long it will take to carbonate?

Will 68 hurt my finished legged beer being force carbonated in the same fridge or should I put it on ice

I brewed a belgian wit last night had the wort at around 70 then added water that i was chilling after i added the wyeast 3944 belgin wit i looked at the temp and it said 58. within 1hr i had it to 62 and within 4 hrs 66. This morning it is 66 and has krausen forming and bubbles out the air...

Figure that out, set the pressure, bleed off air in the head space so all you have in there is beer and co2, shake the keg, and I don't think you have to get crazy with it, I have seen some people roll ye keg back and forth. Then let it sit for three days. But like I said I am a beginner and...

Check this chart out it might help from what I have read, and I am a beginner it depends on the beer, and temp what the recipe calls for in volumes of co2 per liter. http://knoxhomebrewer.com/images/stories/Reference/carbonation%20chart.pdf...

Well, the og reading was 1.060 before I added it to carboy and then added 2 gallons of water. The target og was 1.055 I believe I was close to this if I had stopped @ 5.5gal ,maybe a little higher. At any rate the reading is now 1.014 almost there.

thank you for the advice it started to bubble again and looks good. I did rinse the grains after their steep for 45 min. so this should add some sugars to the wort, and may compensate for the added water.

thank you

I have not racked yet. "Primary" was in reference to the stage of fermentation.

When brewing my second batch of beer, (a belgin wit) i added too much water. It called for 5-1/2 gal. finish volume and I finnished with 6 I fermented through the primary stage, (only two days, and I had moved the carboy only slightly disturbing it while still bubbling and bubbling stopped) and...
