Kerry Brewers / Homebrewing in Kerry
Last post by Vintage - September 09, 2024, 10:39:38 PMI'm a new member. I took up brewing again a year go, after a 25 year lay-off. Getting great pleasure from making and drinking homebrew. It would great to chat to others in the locality. I could use some help in sourcing materials and equipment. Initial contact through WhatsApp would be good.

The Beer Board / Choosing CO2 volume for a fran...
Last post by spl - September 05, 2024, 09:03:08 AMThanks to some help in this forum I've figured out how to carbonate my corny keg with beer or wine and dispense through a decent bar tap, and it's working great with two successful barbecues down and one to go!
Now I have a Brewferm Cherry Ale ready to carbonate. I brewed it to 15 litres, However I found it a little bitter so I sweetened it with 600g sugar and acidified it with phosphoric and citric acids to produce a mock-lambic style beer which is very nice sampled flat.
Now I'm trying to select a carbonation level using [the carbonation chart here.][1]
But I'm uncertain if I should choose the volumes of CO2 suitable for what the beer tastes like (Lambic ≈ 4) or the type of beer the kit was supposed to make (Ale ≈ 2).
If I choose based on the style I've created and carbonate at 4 volumes, will the beer come out all frothy if it still identifies as an ale in protein content and composition?
How would you choose?
