How It Works
The forced carbonation calculator uses the formula: PSI = (Desired Volumes of CO2 * (Temperature in F – 32) * 0.5552) + 14.7. This formula calculates the pressure required to achieve a certain level of carbonation at a given temperature. The desired volumes of CO2 is the amount of CO2 dissolved in the beer, typically measured in volumes. The temperature is the temperature of the beer in Fahrenheit.
How to Use
- Enter the temperature of your beer in Fahrenheit.
- Enter the desired volumes of CO2.
- Click the “Calculate” button or press enter to calculate the PSI.
Common Questions
What is the ideal carbonation level for my beer?
The ideal carbonation level varies depending on the style of beer. Generally, ales are carbonated to around 2-3 volumes of CO2, while lagers are carbonated to around 2.5-3.5 volumes of CO2.
