Yesterday I bottled my first double IPA... I used the Priming Sugar Calculator on Northern Brewers website.... http://www.northernbrewer.com/priming-sugar-calculator/
The beer had been cold crashed over night at 45 degrees. I used THAT temperature in the Northern Brewer calculator...
I thought this through afterwards and realized is probably a problem, since the actual bottling temps will be around 70 degrees and my carb levels are going to come out too low...
My thinking now is to just put the bottles back in the fridge and leave them there to carbonate at a lower temperature
Can I anticipate any problems doing this? I just bottled them yesterday so it's not too late as I see it...
Thx
