Saison carbonation

[ManseMasher]

Hi all, my Saison (still fermenting after 3 weeks!) is nearly ready to bottle. According to BJCP Saisons are highly carbonated, so in the priming calculator I am thinking of going for 2.8 vols of co2. Too low, too high are am I on the money?!

According to BeerSmith 2 - 2015 BJCP guidelines for Saison - 2.8-3.5 volumes!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're going to go big, GO BIG! lol

I like my saisons highly carbed. 2.8 vols is good if you are using regular bottles. I would not go higher than that in regular botlles.

I use heavy Belgian bottles and go higher, 3.5 or maybe slightly more and like them that way.

These are the the ones I use.

Cheers fellas. I have a few corneys, think I'll go long on this one, and keg it. With that amount of gas shouldn't take too much carbing! I've got 25 litres, so the rest I'll put in some Coopers Oxbars I've got. Coming from Northern Ireland, I don't fancy any more bottle bombs....
