I am starting to "force carbonate" my beers and had a question about volumes of C02. I want to do the set to a set PSI and leave for a week to carbonate but don't have the ability to keep the keg in a 38-40 degree area so I am carbonating it at 50 degrees.
My question is, if i carbonate to 2.5 volumes at 50 degrees and then bottle it and chill the bottles down to 40 degrees, will it still be 2.5 volumes or does the temp drop increase the carbonation?
I know this probably isn't a common way to bottle beer but I find more consistency with force carbonating than bottle conditioning.
