I was wondering if someone could enlighten me as to why the sugar required for a certain carbonation level when bottling is higher if the temperature is higher?
Example....when I use the carbonation calculator in Beersmith:
For beer temp of 62F, and 2.6 volumes CO2...need 4.63 oz corn sugar
For beer temp 70F, and 2.6 columes CO2...need 4.97 oz corn sugar.
I assume the temperatur input is for the temp at whcih the beer will be stored for carbonation>?
