After 20 years of brewing I’m finally moving from buckets and carboys to pressure fermenters. I’ve never tried to figure out how much CO2 is given off during fermentation. Lets say I have 5.5 gallons of 1.060 beer in a 7.9g fermzilla, will I have enough CO2 to:
1) Keep an airlock on it for the first 12 hours of active fermentation to blow any O2 out the top, then
2) Push a 5 gallon keg clear of a full load of star san, then.
3 Add a spunding valve to the keg and force carbonate the fermenter at 15 psi?
Thanks!
