Changing temp of beer bottled from keg

[jrowland74]

I just finished a black IIPA, and have it force carbed at 15psi @58 deg F, for 2.01 vol. CO2. If I bottle some for a competition, will the carbonation level change if it is chilled lower than 58F?

The carb level will increase very slightly as some of the CO2 in the headspace dissolves in the beer due to the cooler temp. You will not likely be able to tell the difference.

Brew on

Thanks! I just sent them out and was worried they might explode
